The touted twin tandem of Amen and Ausar Thompson, both projected as lottery
picks, declared for the 2023 NBA Draft on Friday after spending the past two
years in the Overtime Elite program. Both players are in the top 10 of the
2023 CBS Sports NBA Draft Prospect Rankings after thriving with OTE, an
Atlanta-based collegiate alternative program.
Amen averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds this past season in
27.5 minutes per contest while playing against other aspiring professionals
in the OTE program; Ausar averaged 16.3 points, 6.1 assists and 7.1 rebounds.
The duo previously played high school basketball at Pine Crest School in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, but are originally from Oakland, California.
备受期待的双胞胎Amen与Ausar Thompson(皆被预测为乐透区)在星期五宣布在结束
Overtime Elite两年生涯之后投入选秀。他们两个鉴于在OTE的好表现都在CBS NBA潜力新
秀榜中排名前10。
Amen过去一季场均27.5分钟16.4分5.9助攻5.9篮板;Ausar则场均16.3[ 6.1助攻7.1篮板。
这双人组虽然来自加州的奥克兰，但高中生涯却加入了佛罗里达的Pine Crest高中。
Both players are 6-foot-7 guards. Amen is ranked No. 5 in CBS Sports'
prospect rankings while Ausar is ranked No. 8. Amen went No. 5 in a mock
draft from Kyle Boone earlier this week.
"Both Thompson twins might be top-10 picks in this class but I slightly favor
Amen over his brother, Ausar, because of his playmaking and ability to make
advanced reads," Boone wrote. "He's an elite athlete who could be the
initiator for an NBA offense, and players with that profile at 6-foot-6 are
very, very valuable."
两名球员皆是6呎7吋的后卫。Amen在CBS的新秀排行排第5名Ausar则是第8名。在本周稍早
Kyle Boone做的模拟选秀中，Amen第5顺位就被挑走了。
Boone:“汤普森双胞胎虽然都是这次选秀前10顺位的等级但我因为Amen的组织能力与球场
解读能力更喜欢他一点点。他有菁英级别的体能能作为NBA进攻的发动者，且他的6呎6身高
来说这是非常有价值的。”
Ausar went at No. 8 in Boone's mock draft and at No. 9 in a mock draft by
Gary Parrish.
"Imagine having twins and both of them developing into NBA Draft lottery
picks," Parrish wrote. "His brother is considered the slightly better
prospect, but the Thompson twins are similar and potentially special at the
next level."
Ausar则是在Boone模拟选秀的第8顺位及Gary Parrish模拟选秀的第9顺位。
Parrish:“想像一下你有一对双胞胎且他们都发展成了NBA乐透新秀。虽然他的哥哥被认为
是强一点点的潜力，但汤普森双胞胎非常的相像且在下一个层级都有特殊的潜力。”
他们有机会成为Morris兄弟以后又一对乐透区双胞胎吗?
