Houston Rockets

Amen is one of the few names here whose card case can get much stronger without him ever turning into a 30-point scorer. If the jumper keeps moving even a little, the athletic force, defensive range, and transition violence give him a very different hobby ceiling from the usual young-upside swing. He is still one of the better asymmetric buys on the page.

Why this lane
