With a couple minutes left of the game and he's sprinting at 120% to get back defensively, clearly giving more effort than anyone on the court by far he sold me. This kid plays smart. He defends well, allows the game to come to him, makes the right plays. He has great playmaking ability. He's the real deal

[@AjFrancisshomeboySteve]

Yea I'm for sure excited to watch him this season. We may not win the most games obviously, but our young talent will be entertaining to watch

[@saiwaqa2573]

bruh you aren't the only one. Im not even a pistons fan and i refuse to miss a game. This kid reminds me so much of Pippen i love his game!

[@midnightcabbage5475]

That was the first player that came to my mind when I thought of his potential

[@chimorriegeorge7284]

I said the same thing...his wingspan, calmness, athletic ability, quiet killer screams pippen.

[@timd2697]

If he has a headache and can’t go in a game that’ll remind me of Pippen…

[@ugoakusoba4094]

Reminds me of LBJ I'm a new pistons fan because of him. Let him take over this team and Pistons will be on primetime for decades to come. ausar is that good.

[@casecracked8618]

This guy is passing the eye test more than any of the previous core Piston guys…Cade is the man we know that. But Ausar has the defence!!! Damn baby!!

[@akiyahwilliams9521]

Cade defense really underrated

[@MuckNoya]

Cade and Ausar are both gonna have some crazy passes this upcoming season

[@MuckNoya]

He plays like he's been in the league for years. Own pace, takes good shots, hustles, plays great defense and brings the best out his teammates

[@MrAristhan]

He is over any expectation, very lucky we have him in Detroit.

[@rioinfinity8452]

I respect your post and change In opinion after observation. I was blessed to coach the twins for 3 seasons and they are extremely different! Stops then buckets. Ausar for ROTY 🏆 ✊🏾

[@dantemassey600]

He has suprised me, he might be the goat glue guy that unlocks the pistons' offense and defense. Cade, Ivey, Duren, and Ausar are gonna be the Transition Pistons, because with their collective IQ and athleticism, they can already be an elite fastbreak team.

[@Leading_Lions]

I think the way he plays defense will be contagious

[@aikcastle5043]

It does look like he's got a better grasp of the fundamentals than most guys his age. He looks in control as well. High BBall IQ.

[@locksmart3209]

he is so quick. and he makes decisions ahead of the pack. Pistons are set now. time to win some games, rebuild is over.

As a Pistons fan, I’m so happy we have him (for the record I wanted him in the pre draft process)

[@defnotsmoj6760]

Thank god he was in the Overtime Elite or else he will be in top 3 in the draft

[@godspeedgideon9178]

Yea, Thompson Twins look a helluva lot better than Brandon Miller, but Wemby and Scoot are definitely top 2, Thompson twins are 3 and 4, and Miller should've been 5

[@sniffinmcmuffin7248]

I’ve been saying this so much since I’ve gotten back from summer league, I was so impressed by everything he did on the court, especially in that raptors game

[@tylerjones5197]

Him and Cade compliment each other so nicely.

[@hothandquis941]

Been watching Asur and Amen a few years now. Was trying to tell a few buddies of mine these two had high level NBA potential

[@t.j.williams4063]

The thing I like most about the twins is that they WANT to play defense. Like they are determined to lock you the fuck up. A lotta new guys are coming in offensive minded while lacking on the defensive. Meanwhile, the strongest part of their game is probably their defense.

[@justinwilliams1117]

After seeing both twins ...Amen for that one game...Ausar plays smart and hard.They will both will help the Pistons and Rockets.

[@sabrimo4020]

I actually think Ausar is a little bit better than Amen. So the Pistons got a steal at number 4.

[@justinwilliams1117]

@sabrimo4020 can't be a steal at pick 5. Ausar will help with the Pistons' defense and Amen will be the playmaker they need. Detroit has a playmaker in Cade and two solid bigs. I like what yall did in the draft and last year's draft and picking up Marcus later in the draft was good.

[@phil1980boy]

Thompson has some tools you can't teach! I.Q. vision, size, athleticism, fire, desire. It's hard to find young men who possess those talents.

[@DopeAsThePope1]

A flying Ausar was spotted in Las Vegas!

[@Righteous1ist]

He plays like he's the next superstar tbh

[@prodbyrichy5546]

Not gonna lie this just made me a fan. This might be far fetched but I see some of the same traits Kobe had.

[@will-sully]

So excited to watch this guy grow along with the rest of the Pistons' young core

[@mattyb_740]

Thousand percent agree with you. Lol why I’m looking up Ausar highlights all week 😂😂😂

[@rickyortiz2463]

As a long time Pistons fan, He reminds me a little of Tayshaun Prince. He plays good all around basketball

[@gregabernathy1763]

Still just summer league but you can see the potential in this kid bigtime

[@t.j.williams4063]

It’s hard to explain, but because of their skill set and approach to the game, it’s like the twins just give you so much faith. Like you KNOW they’re going to be great, the question is how great.

[@davidwright1728]

This kid is a very talented Dog smart fast determined to be the best on the Court im very impressed 👍👍👍👍

[@SiDPT15]

This draft class is special. Both Thompson boys, Wemby, Scoot. You can't miss. 2023 draft will go down in history.

[@akidotaco]

Monty sounding like he's giving an anonymous whistleblower interview to 60 minutes

[@HakeemTheDream616]

Asar is like Cade was coming into his rookie year. It came to the point in the game where it was like just give him the ball everytime, because you know he's going to make the right decision. The NBA hasn't seen a big athletic 2 way wing that can facilitate as a rookie like this since when?

[@ryanhall5314]

Ausar and amen is literally the same player I just hope they team up one year the chemistry mixed with the iq would be ridiculous

[@Brianalbrittonsr]

His high basketball IQ is what impresses me the most. His ability to finish with his left hand is also very impressive. To me, he’s better than Cade Cunningham at similar stages in development. Certainly much smarter and more in control of his game.

[@JaRW7]

He's making Bogey more tradeable each game. I don’t think he starts initially but probably will at the end of the year.

So many young teams are getting better every season, soon the top of the NBA will look a lot different .. as a Sixer fan its so frustrating seeing us sign a bunch of players in their 30’s trade draft picks..no one wants to play here. If this season’s a failure they might have to rebuild. OKC is a young team with full of good young players and a young allstar along with 35 draft picks they will be good for the next 20 years. Maxey is all Philly has for the future..

[@maxhedrick311]

Reminds me of early years lebron

[@SLusha_]

i agree with u romp until you say he should start. I dont want to rush him into the lineup i want him first man of the bench until at least the all star break. I'm worried about rushing a product before its ready to come off the shelf. I believe Monty will make a good decision regardless.

[@seandorje1052]

same bruh hes like a modern mj but point guarrd and versatile

[@Cade_Szn]

I was upset with the pick at first but I might be wrong. He’s looked nice in summer league but I don’t think he will be great day 1. He looks very unpolished but has sky high potential so idk what to think

[@ugoakusoba4094]

Might be wrong? U r wrong. He is literally a baby lebron James in every way he plays. If he gains two inches he will play the LBJ role exactly like him and it will be freaky to watch. Like 27 pts 8 rebounds 7 assists 2 steals and 1.5 blocks a game and he will make it look easy too
