A lot has been said about the big three in the 2023 NBA Draft class: Victor Wembanyama is the clear-cut No. 1 pick, closely followed by G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson and Alabama wing Brandon Miller. Quietly lurking in the shadows of those three top prospects are twins Amen and Ausar Thompson from Overtime Elite. The 6-foot-7 duo took a chance on a new opportunity and chose their own path to the NBA, becoming a few of the first players to sign with OTE in 2021 for its inaugural season. Since then, the OTE Arena in Atlanta has become a must-stop for NBA scouts and executives as the twins continued to work on their game.

Since then, the OTE Arena in Atlanta has become a must-stop for NBA scouts and executives as the twins continued to work on their game.
This past season at OTE, Amen and Ausar teamed up one last time. Ausar was instrumental in the pair winning the OTE championship, hitting the winner in Game 3 and walking away with MVP honors. Both Amen and Ausar are projected toward the top of the lottery and are thought to be in second tier under Wembanyama, Henderson and Miller. The pair recently worked out for the Portland Trail Blazers, who have the No. 3 pick, and Ausar. Throughout the pre-draft process, Amen has been considered the better prospect because of his playmaking ability and how he projects as a primary ball-handler in the NBA, but don't be surprised if it's Ausar's name called first on June 22.
For Amen, he could go as high as No. 3 to the Trail Blazers and learn from a veteran player like Damian Lillard or the Rockets could take him at No. 4 and possibly place him alongside James Harden, who is rumored to be interested in returning to Houston.
