the reason he was picked 12 is because A. hes from rider, put up amazing numbers and B. He had amazing pre-draft workouts. he played exceptionally well against all the first round talent in the workouts. hes a player...TRUST ME
Second dunk looked nicer lol, seems like a good kid. Dumb move by the Kings to take him at 12 though. Easily second round material since he played against weak competition.
I think the post alone was just to show Jason Thompson, not to prove that a warm-up dunk means anything. The Pistons kinda like this kid and Joe Dumars might draft him at the 29 spot, but they're also looking at a kid from NC State and a few others.
Thompson may be a nice NBA prospect ... but PLEASE, do not waste our YouTube time by overselling a routine, garden-variety dunk in warmups as "awesome..." -- c'mon!
