Thompson can hustle but I can see why Boston was done with him too. You can't be that kind of target on pick and roll and not be a Jokic level player on the offensive side. No amount of O boarding makes up for that.
Yeah Post D is good, rebounding is good, but he's real inefficient for a roll big who gets all his looks in the paint. Provides no spacing. And like you said, what's more important these days is your big being able to hedge the PnR. TT just not capable of that anymore.
 
That'd be the most idiot move of all time. Finally letting him show what he's got, improved defense, and then trading him.

I'd follow with him.
He has definitely taken a step in the right direction but it’s really hard to figure out his ceiling. As far as I can tell he has one elite-ish skill and that is rebounding. Defense has improved and he has the size and length to get better on that end but would probably be considered average right now. Offense is largely corner 3, put backs and the occasional wild drive. He isn’t asked to do much offensively but I don’t know if he has many more tricks in his bag

And nobody is paying a premium for post D right now, haha.

Kenny Thomas ceiling.
 
One thing the Hornets game and this one definitely tells you is that we are back to not seeing the guard team we were sold, and even at it's top, I don't care what marginal moves they make, until they can match up with these kind of teams on the wing this roster isn't going to compete to their potential. And no, Davion isn't playing PF, lol.
