Keith Hollis Thompson II (born April 3, 1991) is an American professional basketball player. He played college basketball for Georgetown University. He also played for the Philadelphia 76ers and New Orleans Pelicans

High school career

Thompson attended Loyola High School in Los Angeles, California. As a junior in 2007–08, he averaged 18.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, going on to be named the league's most valuable player.[1]

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Thompson was listed as the No. 12 small forward and the No. 63 player in the nation in 2009.[2]

College career

In January 2009, Thompson enrolled at Georgetown University and practiced with the team during the second semester.[1]

During his three-season collegiate career at Georgetown, Thompson averaged 8.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 24.6 minutes per game, while setting a school record with 44.0% three-point field goal shooting. In the 2011-12 season, he earned All-Big East Honorable Mention honors after averaging 12.8 ppg and scoring in double figures on 25 occasions.[3]

Professional career

Tulsa 66ers (2012–2013)

After going undrafted in the 2012 NBA draft, Thompson signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder on July 11, 2012.[3] On October 27, 2012, he was waived by the Thunder after appearing in three preseason games.[4] Four days later, he was acquired by the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of the Thunder.[5] In 51 games for Tulsa in 2012–13, he averaged 8.0 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.[6]

Philadelphia 76ers (2013–2017)

In July 2013, Thompson joined the San Antonio Spurs for the 2013 NBA Summer League.[7] On September 24, 2013, he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.[8][9] He became an important part of the 76ers' rotation during the 2013–14 season as he contributed as a defender and a three-point shooter.[10] He became the starting small forward during the second half of the season and scored a then career-high 18 points with six made three-pointers on April 5 in a 105–101 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.[11] He finished the season leading all rookies in three-point field goal percentage with 40.1%.[12]

In 2015–16, Thompson proved to be a valuable member of the 76ers on offense and was a serviceable defender. While his shooting numbers declined slightly from 2014–15, he was still the team's best long-range shooter. Thompson's field goal percentage (41.3 to 39.7) and three-point percentage (40.1 to 38.0) each dropped in 2015–16, but he still averaged career highs in both points (9.8) and rebounds (3.5) per game.[16] In the 76ers' season finale on April 13, 2016, Thompson scored a season-high 21 points in 115–105 loss to the Chicago Bulls.[17]

On June 29, 2016, the 76ers exercised the fourth-year team option on Thompson's contract, retaining him for the 2016–17 season.[18] On January 4, 2017, he was waived by the 76ers.[8] Thompson is currently 6th all time in Sixers history in three-point FG% (38.9%).
