My grade.
Wow, I'm so close to giving Thompson a F but will give him a D beacuse he did have a few really good games. He increased his PPG by 0.1PPG from last year, his RPG down, his FG% down, his 3pt% down, his FT% down. That is not good. But I'm giving him a D. He had some games where he was the best player for Ohio State and a lot of games where you didn't know he was playing unless he had a big dunk.

He's a one trick pony. F

D. A+ for dunking, but he offers very little else.

[victor2111]

He has potential also. There were games this year(one time 2-3 in a row) where he was hitting 3s, dunking, driving, jump shot, block shot, etc.

And then games where you wouldn't hear from him.

You can say that about most of this team though. So inconsistent but some of them have potential. Amir looks like he doesn't care and his effort sucks, so I hate that. Shannon SCott was inconsistent but he worked hard in the offseason and made effort plays. Thompson was in the middle of these two.

Amir I hate. These two, I feel like can really be good players for us. Amir could be good if he hits his head and works hard.

I gave him a C as well. While he is primarily a dunk specialist, his outside shoot was coming on at the end of the season and his defense/blocking shots was coming on as well. If he can keep working in the off season, he could have a special year next year.

He can dunk and in the last few games I think he really started to take rebounding seriously.

However, I wish he was a better shooter. I expect all the upperclassmen to be expert shooters.

D

[WANG]

I give him a B.

He improved his all around game, and once he was starting in place of Scott, he got markedly better.
