Growing disillusioned with Thompson. Poor hands, struggles to finish, doesn't alter shots on defense. I feel like he plays smaller than his size in every phase of the game except the glass.
Not seeing what you are
He is killing himself to get offensive boards.
Reread what I said.
He's fine on the glass. I like him on the glass. It's the rest of his game that I have a problem with.
I still think he was a nice acquisition with the MLE; but if we really did have the option to get Myles Turner and we turned it down, then that is pretty disappointing. I know we still have the TPE - and have hope for using that at some point - but so far we are down 2 2nd round picks and we will have to give up something to use the TPE. Sounded like the deal was Turner, McDermott, and a 1st from Indy. At least we are under the luxury tax.
