Perkins Predicts Amen Thompson Will Challenge Victor Wembanyama as Top Two-Way Player

Kendrick Perkins praised Houston’s explosive offense and highlighted Thompson’s defensive impact. “They had 32 assists, 68 paint points, and 13 dunks,” he said. Calling Thompson “their best defender,” he added, “I believe he’s going to challenge Wemby in the next few years as the best two-way player in the game.” Kevin Durant’s addition should help in Amen’s two-way development.
