As long as the Thompson twins are on the court, good things will happen for Team Overtime.
The buzz is there for Team Overtime, as projected top 5 picks in next year’s NBA Draft Ausar and Amen Thompson will play for them. The twins both stand at 6’7 guards and can do it all, so if you’re one of those guys who likes to say you say someone before they got big, grab your ticket now.
