Great defensively.
Great rebounding.
Switches on pick and rolls and defends the small a lot like Bosh did.
He sacrificed personal glory to win with this team, so they HAD to max him out to make up for him giving up personal accolades to look like Bran's helper.

He owes it to LeGM for getting him that fat contract.

He'd be an all-star on other rosters.

He was on the Cavs for several seasons before Bran got there. Why wasn't he an all-star then?

I could see Thompson averaging 15 and 15 with elite defense and an all-star appearance every now and then.

Helps that he's playing a team that loves to have their 6'7" SF play center.
Kerr is overrated as shit. Completely outcoached by Donovan, now Lue. Walton is da real COTY.

Not really, who underrates him?
Cleary not the Cavs' organisation giving him that massive contract.

No one with a max contract is underrated.
