Thompson wants to be better than Ellis

Thompson is chasing greatness... and the Warriors are chasing the league.

Why would anyone want to be that one-dimensional?

I love this kid. I still say the Cavs blew that draft by taking Tristan Thompson with the 4th pick. Yes he's a nice player but he's the same as Andy. Just not as good. I feel like it was a wasted pick. You put Kyrie Irving next to Klay Thompson and you solidify your back court for the next 10 years.

(This kid will be a better all around ball player than Ellis)

Good luck kid.......greatness is not talked about, its shown on the court

Aim higher kid..

to be honest- he should be chasing WINS and the PLAYOFFS not stats

OK.....where is it said that he's chasing stats? I didn't see that anywhere in the story......

From where I stand, if he can score anywhere near Ellis did, can rebound (6 or 7 per game) and play solid defense, then he will be superior to Ellis.

As it is, he's scoring 18 PPG (if you extrapolate his stats over 36 minutes per game), he's shooting 42% from behind the 3-point arc and is shooting freethrows at almost 90%. If he improves his mid-range game, he'll remind a lot of people of Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.

IMHO, of course.

I think so, too.

He won't be the scorer that Ellis is but he could be a better fit for the Warriors a big SG.

I think you're wrong.

Monte Ellis is a 21 PPG scorer after his rookie season; and only his last two seasons approaches 'Outstanding' as far as being a scorer goes. And I don't see Ellis sustaining those numbers from the past two seasons.

I think this kid will make Warrior fans forget all about Ellis by next season.

Play some defense and you can be....

He still can't play any D. So he IS Ellis!

I don't care who is better than whom if you play for a lottery teamthe only 'goals' him and any young player should aim for is playoffs,division title, ring.I could care less if he scores 5 points a game- but if he helps the team win- he is a legit player

LOL no! If he averages 5 PPG and they win, he would not have anything to do with it. He'd be labeled a bench warmer/garbage time player. >_<

But you're actually agreeing w/ me.......

No.....I'm not.....at least not totally.

I believe that in time, he'll be a better scorer than Monte Ellis......while you say "he won't be".....
