What is the deal with him? He never gets to play anymore and I don't know why. What little I saw him play, he seemed like a good shooter.

Are we talking about the same Nick Thompson?
He is a stiff. He can't shoot, plays little defense, and hurts out team more than helps. If you have noticed, our nice little win streak started as soon as he starting riding pine. He was supposedly chosen by the players as a co-captain because of his work ethic and leadership during practice but I don't see it.
Lately he has pouted about not playing and just sits on the bench with his arms crossed. He does not cheer, get excited, or celebrate with the rest of the team. I don't care who you are or what your situation is, you should cheer for your team no matter what!
That's tough Boomer....
I bet in hindsight he probably wishes he would have stuck at the proper college level and not bought the snake oil.....
Completely agree. I have been really disappointed that he has been so disconnected from the team since his playing time was cut. I've been cheering for C.J. to get more playing time all year and I am glad he hasn't made me look stupid. He is way more aggressive on defense and rebounding than Thompson ever was. Thompson was good for a random three every once in a while, but his consistent air balls really evened that out.

I agree that he should be on the bench. Any notice how he was always getting into little spats with just about every other team? I was really glad he didn't play at OSU, because we surely would have had a fight on our hands.
So, he's not a starter....I didn't realize that that meant that he has no value whatsoever. I see he has a bad attitude now....but why would he be benched with no opportunity to play at all...ever? That's what I was trying to get at.
he seemed to play pretty well the first few games when we played really horrible teams. Once we started playing anyone with a pulse, he became invisible and played really poorly. I dont know how people know he has a bad attitude though
NOW, WITNESS THE ORANGE POWER OF THIS FULLY OPERATIONAL HALF-EMPTY STADIUM!!!!!
It's because he sits on the bench and doesn't clap, cheer, get excited, nothing. During the celebration video after the Iowa State video he was the only one not jumping around and celebrating. Ever since getting benched, he has pouted.
Bought the snakeoil? He was made a starter and team captain. He simply lost his spot.
He is just not very good...at all.
EXACTLY....he's had more flagrant fouls in the first half of the season then the whole team....I like hustle and hard play...and sometimes a hard foul is ok AS LONG AS YOU ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO PLAY THE GAME....the couple I saw were cheap shots...but that's just my opinion...
and I agree...on the other post...he just isn't a high level D1 guy...IMHO...
How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!
Beau Gerber pretty much only saw the floor in blowouts and when we had 2-3 players in early foul trouble. Gerber >> Thompson.
"My landmass erupts with kittens."
Yeah, we don't want to play someone who can pass, dribble and shoot
pete chillcut could take n thompson
Pass to the other team, Dribble off of his feet, and Shoot airballs.
lol - Gerber was never a starter, never even considered to be a starter.
That's my point.

Saw some good things out of Nick here and there, but I think Capel chose to emphasize defense/rebounding about 6 games ago and Nick is AWOL in those categories. A random 3 doesn't make up for lack of D and rebounding every single trip.
Pledger is still a year away from getting it together, hopefully not 2 years. If we had anybody else, he would be riding pine.
Blair has been solid.
Kade - very good for a 6th man force to start.
Fitz - solid
Others inconsistent
Here lies Lester Moor
4 slugs from a .44
No Lester no more
That's no moon...
agree
HAHAHAHA
-if you watch nick he just stands there & lets the guy drive right by him. & hes AWFUL at help defense. i know a lot of these guys are as well but hes the WORST!
i love you blake griffin
