I’ve never been a fan of Hollis Thompson, but I have usually been okay with him being part of my favorite team. When the Philadelphia 76ers signed Thompson during the 2013 NBA offseason, I was initially supportive of the signing. I’m not going to lie to you and claim I saw potential in a player that went undrafted in the 2012 NBA draft and spent most of the 2012-13 season playing for the Tulsa 66ers, a NBA Development League team that’s affiliated to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
I liked the signing of Thompson because I wanted the Sixers to lose as many games as possible to increase their chances of winning the 2014 NBA Lottery and this player I’ve heard of would likely increase the chances of that happening.
