Hey Thompson, mind if we talk for a sec? Great. So, I love what I’m seeing out there on offense. Your talents are raw but you make good use of them. You learn fast and can really shoot it and put it home after getting a rebound. But man, you’re killing us on defense. I hate to say it but teams prioritize driving on you because you miss them on the back of the 2-3 zone so easily.

You got to get up on that bro. Man, as much as I love your offense, I hate your defense. You’re what 6 foot 11? Use that size to your advantage. That’s what Syracuse bigs do here.

I know you can block shots because I’ve seen you it. I believe that if you try like Robey that you can make a difference on this team. This is a great team when it all works well and as a unit. We need you to do your part, okay. Okay get back to it rook.
