[Draymond Green] Ausar Thompson averaging 10 rebounds and almost 2 blocks per game is not being talked about enough. That’s wild! Let me guess though… it’s not points, so it doesn’t matter? (alien.top)

He's literally consensus third best rookie. Only reason he isn't higher is because the 2 dudes above him are generational. People are definitely talking about him.

Let the roty narrative start (pls I have 5000 on it)

Ausar has looked insane, but is sadly being overshadowed by the two 7 foot freaks.

He has been absolutely insane as a rookie so far. Dude is ready

I mean what non detroit-specific conversation would you have him in ? "Best Rookie outside of Chet and Wemby?" He's been talked about enough. He is recognized by fans and media for being that 3rd best and for being a huge defensive piece.

Why does everything have to be so confrontational with Draymond lol

[–] Tilted76erfan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No one talks about it because the Pistons are getting their ass beat every night and tbh his complete lack of offensive game is part of the problem.

I feel like lots of people have been talking about him lol

[–] rjpool_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Feel like he’s been discussed a decent amount tbh

[–] spellman1969@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Still feel like Amen will be better in the end

Averaging a double double with good defense is rare for a rookie. Nearly 2 blocks a game too. Not a lot of guys have long NBA careers anymore with a 48.9% TS though, has to get better at shooting and finishing.

He’s 3rd in rookie ranking? We are talking about him

[–] knownsportsenjoyer@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I mean…we’re talking about it right now arent we?

[–] pokexchespin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

i’ve constantly thought about how crazy it is he’s a fairly normal sized wing putting up those stats

[–] BrandinPodziemski@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I like how since it’s Draymond everyone’s being contrarian and yeah outside of reddit/twitter the Mainstream just cares about wemby and maybe Chet

Wonder if the Blazers regret taking Scoot over him
