Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2013047, member: 40"] I think there is a much simpler explanation: Thompson isn't an explosive sky walker like the NBA covets, and isn't a big, strong specimen, so he was rated a bit lower than he probably should have been. He played for Bob Hurley at St. Anthony's before prep school--this kid has always been fundamentally sound and displayed good offensive skills. It isn't like he came out of nowhere. I love what Thompson is doing now, but I'd caution that we need to see it against higher caliber teams, where his stats haven't been nearly as impressive. Hopefully, the infusion of minutes will help him adjust and get the job done against the bigger, better teams. Because he is much better than Coleman / Roberson, and offers us a lot more upside.
