Question about Thompson

[RaleighSUfan]

when our back line is Thompson, Lydon and White, why is Thompson in the middle instead of Lydon? Is he too slow for the wing? He seems completely lost in the middle.

Cause he's worse on the wing than in the middle, although he's weak there too.

 

[RaleighSUfan]

I agree, I just wonder what's worse... weak on the wing or in the middle. I'd rather have Lydon in the middle and have our weakness on the wing. But maybe that's why why I'm in finance and not a basketball coach...

The good thing (for fans) about his defense being so bad, is I think it will keep him here at least 3 years and he has the potential to be an elite PF/C on offense. The bad thing about it is he needs to drop 20+ per game just to counterbalance the points he gives up on D.

This is something I have been asking too. Honestly Lyndon is pretty bad on the wing. I would like to see them switch but in have a feeling Jim is preparing Thompson to play 35 + minutes a game in the middle next year.

don't think i'm spoiling any opponent scouting reports here but the odds of TT shooting on a catch are roughly 85 %.
