300th Block

While blocking may not be one of his strongest suits, Thompson records one every so often. After his five seasons in the NBA, he has 280 total blocks and averages 0.7 per game. At that rate, over his career average of 77 games per year, Thompson can block 54 shots this year. Adding that to his total would put him at 334 by the end of the season, which means he can pass the milestone for his 300th block.
