Picks up spot start Thompson will join the starting five for Wednesday's opener against Tennessee Tech. Impact A frontcourt spot opened up following the absence of Joey Brunk (back), and Thompson will effectively make his first career start. Though 13.7 mpg last season, Thompson put up an efficient 3.7 points and 3.9 rebounds. The role will presumably decrease once Brunk is ready for full minutes, and it's worth noting Trace Jackson-Davis will still remain the focal point of the offense, especially in the frontcourt.
