Why Isn’t Anthony Thompson in the No. 1 Pick Conversation?
About this episode
Ohio State freshman Anthony Thompson is already projected as a potential top-10 pick in the 2027 NBA Draft, but should we be talking about him even higher?
At 6’9”, 215 pounds, Thompson brings an intriguing combination of size, athleticism and skill. He can handle the ball, create offense and knock down shots from the perimeter.
In a wide-open 2027 draft class, Rafael believes Thompson deserves to be mentioned as a legitimate candidate for the No. 1 pick.
Tonight on NBA Draft Junkies Live, Rafael and James break down Thompson’s game, his NBA upside, what he still needs to prove at Ohio State and what it would take for him to climb all the way to No. 1.
