Tristan Thompson was one of the biggest contributors to the historic 2016 NBA championship. As of today, he is back to playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers but was struggling to find a team to play for before. He may be past his prime and his numbers are not astounding but he is still a great contributor and can also bring the championship mentality to a team.
Back in the day, when Thompson was still in his prime, he was known for the way he could clean the offensive boards so effortlessly. He mostly came off the bench when Kevin Love sat down but he provided an immediate boost of energy by the way he battled for boards in the paint. He is second for the most offensive rebounds and third for most rebounds in the franchise’s history.
While he has a great presence inside the paint, he did not develop his outside or mid-range game, which is why many teams passed on Thompson last year. The modern offense in the NBA requires bigs to score from inside and have a strong jump shot from the 3-point range. He is a great lob threat but cannot provide spacing for an offense which makes him a liability on the offensive end.
He has been a part of many franchises in the NBA and is now looking for a long-term contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Currently, he is averaging a career-low 2.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, in 10.8 minutes per game.
