and where he is now. I took that from his game and added that to my game and maybe that will help me. Moses the same way. He took that from Bobby and spent countless hours in the gym. I am just looking forward to working with Moses in his last year.”

Thompson overcame a massive weight problem two years ago but says it’s still a battle.

“I have been in the weight room a lot and gained a lot of muscle mass but I am still trying to lose a little bit of that fat that I still have,” Thompson said. “I feel better and a lot more explosive than I was, but I still want to get down a little bit. I am at 270 and I want to get down to 265 or 260 before November.”

Thompson said that will make him defensively quicker, the quickest way to play more under Anderson.

“If I work hard and play defense, I will get some minutes,” Glasper said. “For my team in high school, I had to score to help them win. On this team when I get a chance to score I will score, but I just want to be a lockdown defender and get other people involved and do what it takes to win. I love to win. And Coach said, ‘I don’t care if you are a walk-on. If you can help me win, you are going to be on the floor.’”
