Ignore his worst category (threes) and he's worth 1.44.
An ascending two-way force, and we project a full 75-game season of the breakout: 18/8/5 with 1.5 steals and elite efficiency at age 23. But know what caps him — he gives almost nothing from three, the line is shaky, and Houston's backcourt got crowded again. That combination, not the talent, is why he grades here; the arrow still points up.
Amen Thompson enters 2026-27 at #53 on our board — Round 5 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 18.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 36.0 minutes a night. The value is built on field-goal percentage and rebounds, with threes the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-threes builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 77 games.
