Last season, his first in Dallas, Thompson posted 14.0 points in 27.3 minutes per game, both his lowest marks since his rookie season. The sharpshooter saw a dramatic drop in usage with his new squad, but he still shot 39 percent from deep and 90 percent from the free-throw line, which is impressive given all the moving parts (injuries and trades) around him. Dallas will be looking for more continuity this season, led by a strong returning group and the 2025 No. 1 overall pick, Cooper Flagg. Kyrie Irving is expected to miss the first half of the season, which could give Thompson a slight boost to start the campaign. However, if last year made anything clear, it's that the veteran will be a secondary option, regardless of who's on the court. Thompson finished outside the Top 100 in eight-category leagues last season, marking the first time in his career he played at least 66 games and wasn't Top 80. Thompson is still a three-point specialist who can flirt with top-100 value for those in category leagues, but he doesn't have much upside at this point in his career.
