    Please explain your vote. To no one’s surprise I vote Amen highest ceiling and floor. I realize some of the votes are redundant but wanted it to be easy. Let the hate begin:

    Definitely Amen higher on both due to his height and athleticism

    We've been through this player first fan BS so many times now and it's always the same, trying to bring down other players to prop their guy up...

    Lin fans, Jalen fans, and now Amen fans....

    Amen can't shoot, I hope he gets a middie down and if he does he is one of the top players in the entire league

    But that's also like saying "if ben simmons.."

    So its a pretty flawed arguemnt.

    Might as well see if Sheppard can become Bruce bowen

    Amen just because his athleticism and size are things you can't teach. Now do the same poll with "who is more likely to hit their ceiling, Reed or Amen?" It's easily Reed because Amen actually hitting his ceiling will take miracle level shooting development at levels never seen before in league history. Reed's already completely fundamentally sound, he just needs to get stronger and learn to be craftier on D. Amen has WAY further to go to get there.

    I pick Reed, I believe he will become a cross between Stockton, Price, & Curry. Now if Amen ever develops a competent jump shot, I would choose Amen. If he could shoot to go along with his over the top athleticism, he just might be in the same conversation talking about Kobe and Jordan. I just do not see him ever becoming a good shooter so I go with Reed. I believe Amen will be in defensive player of the year conversations for years to come but it was the offensive prowess of Jordan and Kobe that made they were.

    that’s why floor is in the pole. Sorry if I didn’t meet your pole righting standards. These caveats can be expressed in your opinion, so I really don’t see the problem. If you think the pole is unfair don’t participate.

    "Poll" is the word you're looking for. "Pole" is Amen's body part you can't stop swivelling on, remember.

    lol. You could’ve just corrected my misspelling without getting nasty, but that’s what being a troll is all about.

    Amen Simmons has no bag. Can't score without relying on other all stars' gravity.
    Not worth the max.

    Reed is a 3 level scorer. Thus, Reed > Amen

    Offense is a premium in this league.

    Perfectly reasonable. Not correct in my opinion, but reasonably stated.

    Dude you don't get to clutch pearls. You spent how many weeks randomly tagging me or quoting me to call me an *******? Don't try and act like the hurt party because I'm giving you the same energy back, whilst being WAY better at it than you are because you're not that intelligent. It's bullshit. You came at my actual response all pissy, so I responded to you like the b**** you are. Simple.

    @Hemingway where's all the sass now? What's wrong? Don't like being called out for the cowardly little ho-bag you are? At the end of the day you targeted me with random insults simply because I don't jerk off to Amen Thompson, I'm giving you that energy back tenfold because actually, that makes YOU the *******. A big fat gaping one.

    NO such thing as an Amen only fan. If anything, Reed only fans are taking over the board.

    you’re on a roll with the short bus takes as of late

    but then again, you like to brag about tari hitting double digits in a couple of games recently. All of this is coming from one of the original TOF…should have just followed him on the way out
