Description
The Thompson twins—Amen and Ausar—have played basketball together all their lives. 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.
