Quiet exhibition run Thompson had five points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), a rebound, a block and a steal across 15 minutes in an Oct. 25 exhibition victory over Butler.

Impact Thomposon had the lowest total points, field-goal attempts and minutes among Ohio State starters in the team's final exhibition game, in addition to committing three personal fouls. That's still an improvement from his showing in an Oct. 7 exhibition loss to Cincinnati, when he had two points in 20 minutes and the lowest plus/minus rating on the team. The ceiling remains tremendous for the consensus five-star recruit, and it looks like he'll at least get the opportunity to start, but there will likely be some growing pains for the freshman. In the meantime, look for John Mobley, Amare Bynum and Justin Pippen to serve as Ohio State's leading statistical contributors.
