NBA Draft Report: Ausar Thompson Of Overtime Elite (_ZCO on why he might just be the best wing prospect in the class)
, but it’s now time to dissect the game of his identical twin brother, Ausar Thompson. The 6-foot-7, 208-pound wing naturally has some similarities to his brother, but Ausar reportedly has a one-inch advantage in wingspan. And while Ausar is a very good athlete, his brother has him beat by a lot in that regard — Amen just has a lot more burst than he does, both in speed and leaping ability. But Ausar makes up for most of that with a more refined skill set.
With Ausar looking the part of a decent professional shooter, the 20-year-old is one of the more intriguing wings in this draft. Ausar just has the potential to be a special off-ball player, as his athleticism and ability to handle the ball open up all sorts of possibilities for him. Not only is Ausar a guy that should be able to make jumpers in the NBA, but he should have no trouble attacking the basket.
If there’s anything to worry about in Ausar’s offensive game, it’s that he can occasionally look lost when trying to beat his man in isolation situations. For that reason, he looks more like a second or third option offensively than an alpha. But given his tools, it isn’t outrageous to think he can evolve into more. Ausar has aleady made giant strides with his game within the framework of an Overtime Elite system that is largely unproven at this point.
