Amen Thompson returned from injury and as a precaution, the leaders of the Houston Rockets sent him to make his return to the G League. A very good experience for him, a very bad one for the Oklahoma City Blue defenders.
Last year, Amen Thompson played and shone in Overtime Elite, a new professional basketball league in the United States. This year, Amen Thompson went to the G League, another professional basketball league in the United States, and he crushed everything there. The message is clear, the only professional basketball league in the United States that Amen Thompson deserves is the NBA.
Because, in fact, this Wednesday evening, Ausar’s twin returned from injury and therefore played with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, a team affiliated with the Houston Rockets. And against the Oklahoma City Blue, Thompson showed all his talent. 29 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.
Drives galore, offensive rebounds, mid-distance twigs… the rookie displayed his entire offensive palette. He has shown that he is too strong for the G League and it would be surprising to see him stay with the Vipers for long. Indeed, the one who only had time to play four matches in the Great League will soon be able to finally – truly – make his debut.
In this match, other well-known names shone. Cam Whitmore sent 28 points while Frenchman Ousmane Dieng compiled 19 points and 7 rebounds and came away with the victory, but the one of the three who should very quickly earn his stripes on the upper level is the one whose first name sounds like an end to prayer!
