Karron Thomson
6'11 267 PF/C
21 years old
Projected Ratings: B C- B B- B- B
Overview: Drawing comparisons to Brad Miller, Karron Thomson is one of the best passing big men college basketball has ever seen. He posted eight triple doubles as a junior and averaged over six assists for the season to go along with 20 points and 9 rebounds. His lack of athleticism has scouts questioning his upside, but he's a had worker, who should at least improve his defense and rebounding.
Strengths: A versatile big man, Thomson has made a name for himself with his passing game. He could average 4-5 assists per game and also handles the ball exceptionally well for a big man. Has strong rebounding technique and post defense and can score in the post. His go-to move is a devastating right hook and he can step out to about 15 feet for a jumper. Strength is not a concern.
Weaknesses: His lack of athleticism disables him from playing the 3, with his defense dropping to the C's. Although he will lead breaks with his outlet passes, he will likely stay on the defensive end during these fast breaks due to his lack of quickness. While he has good rebounding technique, Thomson can barely jump over a piece of paper which could effect him in a league with bigger, faster and stronger players.
Where will he go?: A mid-late lotto pick who should be a career-long starter. While he doesn't project as a future all-star, he should be a 4th or 5th starter for a playoff team.
