Ausar Thompson should follow Amen's blueprint to simplify offensive evolution
The Thompson twins have become two of the most explosive forces in the NBA in what feels like no time at all. Elite defenders with blossoming but different offensive games, Ausar Thompson of the Detroit Pistons and Amen Thompson of the Houston Rockets are rising forces of nature. What Ausar can learn from Amen, however, is the key to simplifying offense: Improving his free throw shooting.
The leap that Amen Thompson has already experienced as an offensive player can be attributed to a number of factors, but Ausar Thompson's greatest lesson to learn from his brother is the value of preventing teams from being able to foul in case of danger.
