Offense

Thompson was never really expected to be a major part of Boston’s offense with his near-basket style of play at best a complementary option at best, and a frustratingly inaccurate hook shot too often his go-to with several better options to pass to on the floor more often than not. Co/1lZEDnob7b

Intangibles

By most accounts, the Texas product was beloved by his teammates, even if suggesting the regular season didn’t matter much was probably the wrong message to be sending a team with designs on contention struggling to stay above. Co/wetpYXyJSI

Overall

A lot of things went wrong for the veteran big man in 2020-21, and it seems at least some of those things were self-inflicted – in a way, a microcosm of the entire team.
