I don’t get the panic over Thomson.
Yes, he’s not shooting well, but do we really think that’s going to last all season? Meanwhile, he’s playing competent basketball, and has been better than I expected attacking closeouts, passing off of the dribble and scoring in the mid range. His defense isn’t all NBA anymore, but it is far from as bad as people feared. He has championship experience, which will help the team immeasurably over the course of the season in ways that we might or might not be able to see. And, he’s really not making that much money. I do think his minutes will decrease over the course of the year, and eventually, he might come off the bench, but he’s a piece I’m glad they have in the rotation.
