All their lives, the Thompson twins—Amen and Ausar—have played basketball together. On Thursday night, the duo officially joined the NBA together—and made history in the process.
The Rockets chose Amen with the No. 4 pick of the NBA draft, followed by the Pistons taking Ausar at No. 5. That makes the Thompson twins the first pair of brothers to each be drafted in the top five in the same draft since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976, per ESPN Stats & Info.
The Pacers added some draft capital while acquiring the player they targeted with their own pick.
Welp!
For most Hornets fans it should have been a pretty easy choice at the No. 2 pick: Take Scoot Henderson. When the dust settled Charlotte went for fit over best player, taking lights-out shooter Brandon Miller over trying to find a way to play Scoot and LeMelo Ball together, two ball-dominant guards.
Hornets fans weren’t interested in fit though, and they absolutely lost it. Warning: There’s some NFSW language here.
The Hornets select Brandon Miller No. 2 overall.

Victor Wembanyama’s first interview as an NBA player gave fans a sentimental moment to remember Thursday night following the Spurs’s selection of the generational prospect with the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft.

As relayed by Fox News Digital, Dana White spoke with Elon and Zuck after they engaged in a friendly online back-and-forth on Wednesday. Musk offered to fight Zuck in a caged match, to which Zuckerberg responded, “Send Me Location.
It’s all about connections, and former Alabama basketball player Brandon Miller has them.
He has a questionable one in former Crimson Tide teammate Darius Miles, who remains in a Tuscaloosa jail on a capital murder charge awaiting trial. Miles’ childhood friend from Washington D.C., Michael Davis, is also in jail awaiting trial on a capital murder charge as the shooter. He allegedly shot Jamea Jonae Harris on Jan. 15 near the Alabama campus with Miles’ gun.
With the Spurs selection of Victor Wembanyama first overall in the NBA Draft, Dan Titus puts the fantasy spin on the prospect’s rookie potential.
For months, the No. 1 pick in this year’s NBA draft has been a foregone conclusion. No one was getting drafted ahead of Victor Wembanyama, but the question of who would follow him at No. 2 was surrounded in much more uncertainty.
Now, the Hornets have settled on their choice: it’s Brandon Miller.
Miller, a 6’9” wing whose one-and-done year at Alabama earned him the SEC Player of the Year award, pairs his long, athletic frame with a polished offensive game that’s drawn comparisons to Paul George.
