I'm interested in hearing some opinions from the DX guys. Hes on ESPN2 right now playing for Rider.

LOL, he has 21 pts, 13 rebs with 11 minutes left in the game against a pretty good Siena team

It's kind of weird to see him in all these mocks, at least for me. He lives and went to a school about 10 minutes from me in Jersey. He has picked up alot more attention in the last year. It's nice to see him projected first round in mostly all mocks.

Finished the game with 23/20

This kid can play. Definite first rounder. Can't wait to see him develop as an NBA player. Would be great next to Andray Blatche in Washington. Worth the hype. Low end first rounder, won't be taken higher than 20. But worth drafting, fa sho.

Interesting. Why do you think he would fit great next to Blatche? I've never seen Thompson play, but I'm a Wizard fan so I would like to know why.

Who is Jason Thompson?

The Detroit Pistons 2008 draft pick

Jason Thompson is a definite lottery pick. He is a legit 6'10" (may be 6'11") very athletic power forward, who can put the ball on floor. Hopefully, we will see him against better competition in the NCAA tournament. His stock is rising.

^ I wouldn't say definite. He's from an even smaller school than Paul Millsap. Millsap slipped to the second round because of his size, but partially because of his showing against halfway decent bigs that played for bigger school in Orlando. Rodney Stuckey wasn't in the Lottery, although he should've been. he's from a small school, but guards have an easier transition to the NBAS because their bodies are about as filled out as they need to be. They don't need to drasctically cut or add weight.

I can't see Kosta Koufos or Kevin Love coming out this year, so it's possible he rises up in the draft, but if those two decide to stay in school, then a kid like Nathan Jawai could see his stock increase because Americans haven't seen enough of him to get a feel for him. Same With Thabeet. He's much bigger and a team will take a chance on him before Thompson.

Thompson will probably be in the first round, but it won't be in the Lottery.

This is going to get interesting once March Madness is over.

i've seen Thabeet,seen thompson-and thompson's a lot better because he has skills and effort full time. Big,raw obscure imports seem to get a free pass while been unseen and having okay results against non-prospects.

If you actually SAW Millsap play--you knew he had game. Same with Thompson. He can play.

I can see the Kings drafting him late lottery
