Tristan Thompson, Cleveland Cavaliers

Listen, I love what Tristan Thompson does for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He’s often their heart and soul on the defensive end. He’s the energy guy that every championship team needs on their roster. In fact, I’m not sure where this team would be without him, actually.

However, my biggest question is whether Thompson really is all these things or if he’s just another guy that’s been created by LeBron James – similar to what J.J. Hickson was during his first stint in Cleveland.

I honestly don’t know. Ever since LeBron re-joined the Cavs, Thompson’s field goal percentage has shot up. Does that have more to do with the LeBron effect or did it simply click for Thompson when LeBron showed up?

I think we all know the answer to that.
