Thompson says he’s had the three-point shot in his arsenal for years but was never asked to employ it in previous offences. When he arrived in Toronto he showed the Raptors coaching staff that he could shoot it and they told him that if he was open beyond the line he had the green light to let fly.
“I work on it—I just haven’t gotten the opportunity to show it off in front of everybody,” Thompsons said. “Over my eight years in the league I’ve had 11 coaches. And it never fit any of their systems.”Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

Still, totally on board with the JT effect. Even in that mess of a game he seemed much more watchable than Scola.

Hopefully he keeps bringing that effort consistently, and last night wasn't just a case of "I'm starting tonight so I want to look good". It was refreshing to see him in the starting lineup. Also helps that he probably has fresher legs than the other guys who have been playing more minutes throughout the seasonOG is our king

Yup, echoing sentiments, I liked what I saw out of Thompson too. He looked much more engaged (and capable) on the defensive end....and the 3pt range is just gravy.
Hope it wasn't just a 1-time experiment on Casey's behalf (to rest Scola), and that Thompson gets consistent minutes going forward.

As for his play, he's a solid PF in the NBA. He can play. No one should be surprised. He would definitely crack this rotation but for the circumstances.
