Famous reporters call on Dream Team: In 3 years, Rockets Amen should join! Defense is already a trump card skill

Rockets' Shin Kyung has ended his European Championship journey. Although he eventually lost to the stronger German team in the final and finished second, only one silver medal, Shin Kyung's personal performance in the European Championship is indescribable. His scoring is very stable, including mid-range shots and three-pointers, and more of them are low-level offenses, with rebounds and double-digit rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. In the end, Shin Kyung helped Turkey win 8 wins and 1 loss, and he averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game. His shooting percentage reached 55%, making him one of the best players in the European Championship.

It's just that the Turkish team lost in the end, and the most valuable player of the game was won by German veteran Schroeder. Shin Kyung is indeed a pity, but he also showed his strength. Next season, with the Rockets and Durant, Shin Kyung will naturally have a place to use it.

In addition to Shin Kyung and Durant, the Rockets' third leader next season is naturally Amen Thompson. As Van Vreet grows older, Amen will become the backbone of the Rockets' outside line. His defensive ability is quite strong, his breakthrough ability is top-notch in the league, and his inside attack ability is also rare. After all, Amen Thompson can run and jump, and his explosive power is extremely strong, and his vertical bounce ability is the top in the league. Last season, Amen was the main power forward of the Rockets, and became one of the best defensive players in the league, and was also selected for the best defensive team.

The famous NBA reporter Zach Lowe also talked about the American Men's Basketball Dream Team three years later in a podcast program. Since the 2028 Olympics are held in Los Angeles, the United States, the American men's basketball team will have to win the final gold medal. The famous reporter directly called out to the American Men's Basketball Dream Team and said that the Olympic team in three years must bring Rockets forward Amen Thompson.

Lovey said that Amen can defend multiple positions, his defensive ability is very good, he is very active, and he can also grab rebounds; if you let him play with a center who can shoot, he can also play pick-and-roll tactics, and they will also create more opportunities. You should know that in the Olympics, those international defenders will be guarded by Amen Thompson, and they will be dizzy. Although Amen Thompson's three-point shooting ability is not enough and his mid-range shooting ability is quite average, his defensive ability is enough to make him selected for the American Men's Basketball Dream Team.

In the Rockets' regular season last season, Amen averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, plus 1.3 blocks and 1.4 steals; in the playoffs, such data became better. Therefore, when it comes to the competition, Amen Thompson's defensive ability can be reflected. Three years later, Amen Thompson will turn 25, which is the golden period for a player. It is very likely to help the American Men's Basketball Dream Team win the Olympic gold medal.

After all, most of the older generation of superstars would withdraw at that time, and the new generation of stars would become the core of the Dream Team. Amen Thompson has a chance to be selected for the 2028 US Men's Basketball Olympics lineup, and he also has this strength. His defense is his signature skill.
