Jason Thompson

I like this pick. I heard some really good things about Thompson and I think Petrie has snagged another gem. People have been wanting Petrie to show some guts, to do the unexpected, to reach out, etc. He does it and some still aren't happy? At least we didn't get a tweener guard or another SF ...
He could be a very good player. I'm ecstatic. He has alot of potential, and at the very least we know he can play the game, unlike some other projects.
Thank you Geoff. Most who know about him would agree that he's at least a solid pick.
Hawes is Brad 2.0? i dont think so .. hes got more post moves than brad.... hes more slick than brad imo... the way i see brad hes a little robotic
i like the pick... buti was hoping bayless dropped to us but there HAS to be a reason for him to fall that far... from the 12th pick its all potential and projects.. jason thompson brings that big man we oh so really needed.. he can start and mikki moore goes off the bench while kt and SAR sulks

It's a 12th pick and you take some chances. I'm actually like it. I liken this to the drafting of Brian Grant, who was not a big name, but actually made an impact on the Kings before he became a greedy b-s-tard and went for the jack to POR.
I was disappointed Bayless was taken and would have prefered him, but this pick is one that could end up being a steal.

what doesnt make sense to me is that dick said that jason has potential potential potential but at the same time he was the first senior taken .. and from the analysis they gave us said he can contribute right away blah blah .. i like dickie V but he really only makes sense 24.9 percent of the time ..
He's mostly a PF, not a C. And Brad is much better than Mikki. And it also must be mentioned, since this is classic Geoff: Thompson's old for a modern rook. Means he's more likely to be ready now, and he only has to earn Mikki's minutes, or give us a reliable platoon there instead of either KT/SAR or even poor Shelden.
I like the pick, seems to be a guy who has it all physically. Maybe a tad early, but GP has never been someone who moves around on draft day. I think this might set us up to look at Dragic in the second to maybe snag a possible PG prospect?
I'd love to see us try to hop back into the first to get another big, I know we now have a 4 and 5 with Spence and this guy but the draft is deep in bigs and it couldn't hurt to add depth on the front line. Maybe sneak back into the first to try to snag Jordan/McGee/Hibbert?

I had posted a couple days ago some game stats showing Jason Thompson vs Mike Beasley in a K-State / Rider tournament match-up last season. I had some of the stats off - apparently way off. Jason TOTALLY outclassed Beasley, even though his Rider team lost 82-69. This big man is FOR REAL.
As good or better than Beasley - only time will tell.
