Tristan Thompson Declares for NBA Draft


Tristan Thompson is leaving the University of Texas to the NBA.  The freshman anchored the Longhorns team this season as a freshman and played exceptionally well.  Thompson averaged 13.1 points, 7.8 rebounds (second-best in the Big 12) and 2.4 blocks per game.  Thompson's draft stock increased when higher rated players at the same position, like Jared Sullinger (Ohio State), Perry Jones III (Baylor) and Harrison Barnes (North Carolina), decided to stay in school.  He is expected to be a mid-to-late 1st round pick, but definitely has upside with his age.  Good luck Tristan!
