The No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft made his first shot attempt of the night on a driving layup to his right as he finished around the outstretched arm of Portland's center, and he finished the first quarter with nine points on four-of-six shooting. Thompson flashed both his soft touch around the rim as well as his explosive speed in the opening frame. He hit a tough floater near the left elbow on one possession, then bullied his way to a basket and a foul on another trip down the floor. Let's not take away too much from Summer League, but for Thompson, his early results were notably encouraging.
