Moreover, many are eager to see what surprises Amen, starting at the point guard position, will bring. So far in his NBA career, he averages 11.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 turnovers, 1.3 steals, and 1 block per game in the regular season. He made the All-Defensive First Team in his sophomore year and is now about to enter his third season!
