Sacramento Adult Entertainment: Preseason Game #4: Warriors-Kings Recap
… Jason Thompson’s 20-20 game against Anthony Randolph was a nice thing to see for him. After Randolph exploded in the summer league against Thompson, there were plenty of murmurs around Las Vegas that the Kings picked the wrong guy. I have always contended that they didn’t. Randolph is a lot of hype and some of it will end up being warranted. But Thompson is a sure thing. Is he a sure thing like he’s going to be Karl Malone? No. But is he a sure thing like he’s going to eventually be a double-double machine and have the ability to get you a bucket in the post when you need it? Yes, that’s going to be what he gives the Kings. I’ll always take the sure thing over the hype. Hype dazzles in summer league games that take place in cities where prostitution is legal. Sure things get it done in actual game settings.
