Vince Grippi of The Spokesman-Review had a nice article on Washington State guard Klay Thompson’s 37 point effort on Thursday night.
Thompson is off to a hot start this season averaging 27 points a game on 55% shooting through Washington State’s first three games. The 6’6” sophomore’s hot start earned him the Pac-10′s player of the week award.
He has already attempted 28 free throws over the first 3 games. He only attempted 31 free throws in the 33 games that he played in last season. This has been the key to his improvement thus far.
Thompson is someone who we will continue to follow closely. As of right now, I consider him a 2nd round pick. If he can keep up his good play, he will continue to rise up the board and into the 1st round.

Mike Anthony of The Hartford Courant writes about the praise that Hofstra’s junior Charles Jenkins received from UConn’s head coach Jim Calhoun.
Said Calhoun: “He’s such an unusual player. He’s certainly got an opportunity, with some work on range, to maybe play at the next level.”
Jenkins recorded 25 points and dished out 8 assist in Hofstra’s loss to the Huskies on Tuesday night. The 6’3” Junior also scored 23 points in a loss to the #1 ranked Kansas Jayhawks last week.
Jenkins is definitely someone who I will continue to watch. Right now I would have to say he is a 2nd round type player since he is more of a combo guard than anything else. If he can improve his outside jumper and limit the turnovers he has potential to be a good sleeper pick in the second round.
