How did you not see improvement in Thompson?
Last year he scored .19 ppm
This year he scored .3 ppm
His biggest improvement was going from 7.1% from 3 to 40.4% from 3. His free throw percentage went from 54% to 70%. He definitely went from just an athlete to a basketball player, and he shot almost 50% overall this season.
I think the overall improvements of the team will make this a very well rounded team next year. I just think that you can't have Scott, Craft and LZelle on the floor at the same time. Scott just has absolutely 0 offense, Craft has no outside shot, and Lzelle thinks he is a shooter, but is such an athlete that he just needs to go to the rack all the time.
Like I said, Matta took a scorer and a defender to the elite 8. I think we may have something really special next season.
