Ausar and Amen Thompson have the upside to potentially become the best twins we’ve ever seen at the NBA level. While they should both be high lottery picks, the Thompson twins certainly aren’t ...

The Thompson twins are not, however, the first brothers to be selected back to back. Twins Marcus and Markieff Morris were selected at Nos. 13 and 14 in the 2011 NBA Draft.

The Thompson twins’ team, City Reapers, won the league title on March 7, not May 6. On that day, there were 107 days to go before the N.B.A. draft, not 47.

Amen is the older of the two Thompson twins; he was born one minute before his brother, Ausar. Houston selected Amen with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
