Top Prospect Profiles: Tristan Thompson

Tristan Thompson, PF Texas Fr. (6-8, 235) Age: 20

Strengths: Huge 7-2 wingspan and good leaping ability. Can score in the paint or hit a midrange jumpshot. Big, soft hands and nice touch around the basket. Excellent shot-blocker and rebounder, especially on the offensive end. Big time motor, never stops. Good lateral quickness and a potential to be an elite defender.

Weaknesses: Undersized, though the wingspan negates most of that. Not a dominant scorer or a player who commands defensive attention. Should look to become more aggressive on offense. Overall offensive game needs polish. Needs to bulk up. Old for his class.

NBA Comparison: Kris Humphries, Nets

Draft Projection: Top 10

Season Stats: 30.9 mpg, 13.1 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.9 spg, 2.4 bpg, 55%/49%/NA (FG/FT/3P)
