| Thompson, Ryan | Rider | 6'6" | 210 | SG | SR. | Ryan is the little brother of Kings Forward Jason Thompson. …Ryan is a right handed guard that excelled at the Portsmouth Invitational - with a performance that gained him plenty of looks around the NBA. ...He is strong yet nimble. ...Hits shots both in spot up situations and on the run. …Thompson does not have the explosiveness seen in elite NBA quality guards but he does have a high hoops IQ. ...He can finish well in transition. ...Ryan had more assists than turnovers and he shoots 78% FT for his career. ...His three point stroke has looked a bit "line-drive-ish". ...Thompson was "The Man" at Rider. The offense ran through him. He did not play with other NBA quality athletes. I think he has a chance to be better as he plays with the better talent in the NBA. To some extent - that already showed itself at Portsmouth - just being teamed with good college Seniors. |
Where do I expect Thompson to be taken? He most likely will not be drafted.
Our best advice: In 2008 - The 31th pick was Nikola Pekovic. We said, "take Mario Chalmers."
Our worst advice: In 2007 - The 26th pick was Aaron Brooks. We said, "take Reyshawn Terry."
