Howard Samuel Thompkins III, better know as “Trey” (a nickname given to Thompkins as the third Howard in his family’s lineage), is one of the most versatile, talented and polished offensive big men in the 2011 NBA Draft Class.
Thompkins has good footwork in the post, the canny ability to score on either block (highlighted by his nearly indefensible turnaround jumper), above average ball-handling skills for a post-player, a high basketball IQ, college 3-point shooting range, slightly above average shot-blocking skills, and surprising effectiveness in transition.
