1,500th Offensive Rebound

Thompson can hit a milestone on the other end of the court too with offensive rebounds. He currently has 1,304 total offensive rebounds and averages 3.4 per game. If he grabs that number over 77 games, Thompson can get more than 260 rebounds this season. That would give him a total of 1,567, passing the 1,500th mark.

As of right now, Thompson is just 176 offensive rebounds away from passing Anderson Varejao for third place on the franchise’s offensive rebounding list. So it seems as though he can pass Varejao and keep climbing that list.
