He now has a lower shooting efficiency for the season than Jaden Hardy. Literally only Kleber from our regular rotation is worse. Teams will gladly let him take shots. 

...only Memphis didn't, which is what we were talking about. 

Last night, Washington DID, and I have to say, he showed signs of coming out of his shooting slump. He made them pay several times.

Look, I've been slightly disappointed by Thompson's start as well, but you seem like you're ready to write off the whole signing already, and the season has sort of just started. I realize your blind spot is adding anyone with a 3 at the beginning of their age, and while I think that's bonkers, I've learned to just read past that. In this specific case, I agree that Thompson has underwhelmed, but I don't think he's been nearly as bad as you say, or as bad as the panic crew expected right after the signing. His defense is actually not bad at all, so far, and he's a much better all around player than I expected. It's really just a shooting slump we're witnessing. If he can get to the other side of it, I'd say he'll be exactly the player the Mavs thought they were getting.
