Twin Brothers Make NBA History, Both Top 5 In Draft

The 2023 NBA Draft held on Thursday saw Amen and Ausar Thompson accomplish a remarkable feat by becoming the first pair of brothers to be drafted together in the top five of the same NBA Draft since the NBA and ABA merger in 1976, as reported by ESPN.

Amen Thompson was chosen as the fourth overall pick by the Houston Rockets, while Ausar Thompson was selected fifth overall by the Detroit Pistons.

Last season, both brothers showcased their skills in the Overtime Elite League, representing the City Reapers. Their performances in the league demonstrated their potential and solidified their positions as highly sought-after prospects in the NBA Draft.
