Struggles and the Sacramento Kings share a long history. Jason Thompson can attest, having spent the last seven years languishing in the NBA gutter.
Since Thompson was drafted 12th overall in 2008, he’s amassed a 31.4 winning percentage. The big man has played in more regular season games (541) without a playoff appearance than any active player. Thompson has seen his offensive role decrease over time, and he’s taken orders from seven different head coaches. Despite this, the 29-year-old has retained his sanity.
“The NBA is a business, so I feel like regardless of our situations, we’re all blessed in our own type of way,” Thompson told Cowbell Kingdom in early July.
