The Houston Rockets chose Amen over Osar because the former is theoretically capable of playing as a point guard. Stone prefers tall point guards and missed out on Cunningham, so he wants to make up for it. Udoka initially wanted to groom Amen into the next Ben Simmons. Udoka once said in an interview: "Amen Thompson is a 2.01-meter guard, a true point guard. You can see his physique and quality; he can pass with that body type and has such defensive intensity. He possesses all the traits we can imagine." However, Udoka found that Amen's ball-handling skills were lacking, and his shooting was poor, so he decided to play him as a forward. In the last game, with Dillon absent, Amen started and played 38 minutes, scoring 19 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, dishing out 3 assists, making 1 steal, and blocking 3 shots, shooting 8 for 16. Amen played full defense, passed to his teammates, and even tried to showcase his shooting. In this game, Amen attempted six three-pointers and made two, which is a season-high in attempts. Some Rockets fans suggest that Amen should start in place of Jalen Green or Dillon, but he actually hopes to replace Van Jordan. In an interview with Houston journalist Feigen, Amen revealed: "I like starting and doing my best. I've learned to always be ready to play. I like the position of point guard. Of course, Amen also emphasized that he would follow the coach's arrangements, having adapted to the role of a substitute and being able to play any position."…
