Part 8/10:
Thompson is capable of taking on responsibilities as a ball-handler in pick-and-roll situations. Although opponents may not guard him as aggressively from the perimeter, he has shown that he can create significant problems for defenses by attacking from advantageous positions. Defenses who sag off him risk being punished when he explodes to the rim with his impressive speed and agility.
Additionally, his capability to collapse the defense helps create openings for his teammates. While his shooting continues to develop, he has shown willingness to take shots, indicating hope for growth in that area.
