I've been posting about Kings players often, although they are the 3rd worst defensive team in the league, they still rank 13th overall on offense with 98.98 PPG.
The Kings are missing a true inside presence and are in the midst of developing their young interior bigs Spencer Hawes and Jason Thompson in order to get them seasoned for next year.
Thompson is a very capable young gun rookie and has gone under the radar across fantasy basketball leagues.
Thompson Starting Stats: 54% FG, 77% FT, 12.6 ppg/7.3 boards/.7 stls/.4 blocks
The block and steal numbers may not be there yet, but Thompson has accumulated 5 steals in his last 5 games. Thompson has good footwork and post moves, he also follows up his own misses and crashes the offensive rebounds better than any current rookie bar Kevin Love.
If you're looking for a solid big in 12+ mixed basketball fantasy leagues, Jason Thompson is a solid source of FG, FT, and rebounds.
