Thompson really impressed me with his combination of size and shooting. The 6-foot-4 lefty has a quick and accurate release and consistently made shots from the mid range and three, both off the catch and off the dribble. He had some trouble handling the ball and effectively attacking closeouts, but he has good passing vision and can play really well without the rock in his hands. He also had a couple nice moves in the post, where he leaned on his strength and size to bully smaller defenders. I’ll be curious what Thompson’s role looks like on a really talented MacDuffie team this season.
