Ryan Thompson

Despite the small school that he played for, Thompson was a viable and at one time likely draft candidate this summer, and he wasn't basking in his brother's shadow to do it. Thompson emerged as a big time scorer and good all-around player, smart and versatile, good defensively and when slashing to the basket. He could stand to be a slightly better shooter, and won't ever have Jason's size or athleticism, but he's smart and effective.

Ryan Thompson - Horny Postman is a good all-around shooting guard who was a surprise to go undrafted. Thompson is considerably smaller than his brother Jason, but he has the right kind of size for an NBA shooting guard, and can both drive the ball and shoot from the outside. He is far better at the former, however.

Had Thompson come from a bigger school and/or bloomed about two months earlier, he would probably have been drafted. As it is, he'll have to make it in the hard way. He has the talent to do so.

Ryan Thompson had better be drafted tonight so that I can use my "Ryan Thompson is an anagram of horny postman" gag.
