It's a great night for the Thompson twins.
He projects as a playmaker who can thrive with the ball in his hands a a distributor and scorer who can finish at the rim. He could slot in as a primary ball handler in Houston, allowing Porter to operate off the ball. He could also work on the wing, taking advantage of his 6-7 frame.
Ausar also stands at 6-7 and projects to play on the wing in Detroit. He's a better shooter than his brother and also thrives attacking the basket. He'll likewise join a developing young core in Detroit that features past lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Cade Cunningham in the backcourt. Both players thrived while playing together for the G League's Overtime Elite. They each possess exceptional athleticism and size to develop as strong NBA defenders. The NBA schedule's not out, so we don't yet know when the brothers will first face off as opponents in the NBA.
The Thompsons aren't the first from their family to experience athletic success. Their older brother Trey Thompson played college basketball for Prairie View A&M. Their uncle Mark Thompson ran the 400-meter hurdles for Jamaica in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
