The former Clippers inside pitcher will switch to the Taiwan League, and his shooting ability is still quite good?

Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL) team Formosa Dreamers officially announced that the team has signed former NBA player Trey Thompkins, who will also appear in the Asian arena for the first time in the new season.

Topkins was born in May 1990. He is 35 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 111kg. He is the inside player selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2011 NBA Draft in the 37th pick in the second round. In the NBA, Tompkins has played 24 times in total, with averaging 5 minutes per game, with averaging 2.4 points, 1 rebound, 0.1 assist, 0.1 steal, and 0.1 blocks, 0.2 turnovers and 0.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 39.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 71.4%. Hopkins' performance in the NBA is very average. In the 2012 NBA Summer League, he suffered a contusion in his left knee kneecap, which also led to him not appearing on the court for almost two years. By March 2013, the Clippers had to cut him, and he never returned to the NBA again. After leaving the NBA, Tompkins also played in the VTB League, La Liga and Adriatic League. He previously played for the La Liga giant Real Madrid for a long time and is an important rotation player for Real Madrid. He can maintain a stable level in both the La Liga and the Champions League. Last season, Tompkins played for La Liga team CB Coruna. He played 26 games in La Liga, averaging 20.9 minutes per game, averaging 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 50% from the field, 41% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.8% from free throws. Tompkins' overall performance is quite good. He also showed good scoring ability, and his stability in outside shooting is also worthy of recognition. However, as he grows older and accumulates injuries, his contribution to the defensive end is indeed relatively limited. Moreover, La Coruña ranked last in La Liga last season and was relegated, which also reflects that Tompkins' data has a certain amount of water.

Topkins is also an experienced and distinctive player. Although it may be difficult for him to take on more tasks and provide more support to the team on the defensive end, his height and shooting ability are there. He is also a potential space-type insider. His role in the team at some specific times on the court is still very outstanding. I don’t know what the 35-year-old former Clippers veteran will perform in the Taiwan League.
