Didn't he start in the NBA at like 21 or 22 or so?

He's a below average player, never stood out at anything and was never great in doing the very good role player things.

High volume mid-range shooting without being a star or without being very good at it seems more like the opposite of what teams are looking for in the modern times.

IIRC, there is a stat that most people wouldn't believe about Jason Thompson: He's the career leader in games played for the Sacramento Kings. He's played in more games as a Sacramento King than Peja Stojakovic.

Kind of crazy when you think about it.
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.
