Coach Z’s scouting report: Pundits will knock his competition at Rider… all I know is that he averaged 20 and 10 for 2 years… Long and athletic with a desire to get better will make him a 10 year pro… love his bounce and nose for the ball… rebounds and blocks shots well… could be the sleeper in the draft…

Thompson is a face up power forward that fills a need for the Kings. Scouts have been down on his upside, but he looks good on film. He has a nice stroke and rebounds well.
