Never caught the hype with Thompson outside of his ability with the no look pass. Especially in Tyndalls system.

-He dribbles way, way to high
-Has a lot of trouble breaking the press.
-Extremely slow drawn out style of play. (Ok for half court oriented offenses)
-Brings very little to the table from a scoring aspect.
- Isn't a slasher nor does he look to draw the foul.

Just about everything Tyndalls style of play isn't.


Granted, he's only a sophomore and has time to develop, but Hubbs IMO would be the only true set back out of the 3.

Tyndall does not play fast. It is a one trap and drop system. Thompson's length is perfect for that defensively and the offensive staff is pretty similar to Cuonzo's pace wise.

As far as dribbling too high and having trouble with the press, his assist to turnover ratio was pretty damn good for a frosh PG.

Thompson was good on defense and as a passer. He likes to steal the ball which is actually something that would make him fit a helluva lot better in Tyndall's system than Martin's but Martin's style was slow as mud it's hard to tell how much was Martin vs. Thompson but he's definitely more of a depth player at this point than a producer. Who know tho' he could very well thrive under the new system/new coach with more fire. But I'm with you Hubbs would be the only big loss.

I checked on Chievous and he's staying through summer workouts and may not transfer now that Martin is gone. Chievous should've been given more minutes last year by Martin than he was.
