Amen was selected as the best defensive team, the fifth player in the Rockets history, a trade suggestion for slapping famous people

On May 23, the NBA officially announced the best defensive team in the regular season. The first team included: Mobley (Cavs), Dream Chasing Green (Warriors), Dyson Daniels (Hawks), Amen Thompson (Rocks), and Dort (Thunder). The best defensive second-team players are: Kamara (Trail Blazers), Gobert (Timberwolves), Jaren Jackson Jr. (Grizzlies), Jaren Williams (Thunder), and Zubac (Clippers). What surprised many people should be the selection of Amen Thompson, a Rockets' second-year student.

Amen Thompson won the first vote of 74 votes, which shows the recognition of Amen Thompson by the selection group. According to statistics, Amen Thompson is the fifth player in the Rockets history to be selected as the first team of the best defensive team. The other four are: Olajuwon, Rodney McCree, Pippen and Beverly. Amen Thompson also won the favor of Rockets coach Uduka with his excellent defensive ability and rebounding ability, and has been stable in the starting position for a long time, replacing Jabbarri Smith Jr.

Amen Thompson was selected for the best defense team and also slapped the famous speaker Ben Thompson's trading advice. Previously, Ben Thompson connected with Rockets reporter Chris Gorman on a live broadcast program. When talking about the deal between Antetokounmpo and the Rockets, Ben Thompson suggested giving Amen as a bargaining chip. Ben Thompson believes that Amen Thompson has been seriously overestimated and the Rockets should send him away, especially if they can get Antetokounmpo, they can choose to trade Amen Thompson.

However, Amen Thompson still needs to improve his personal shooting ability. Defense is Amen Thompson's best ability, but projection hinders him from becoming an All-Star. Therefore, Amen Thompson may only be able to make a stable shooting ability away from becoming an All-Star.
