Andrew Wiggins likely shoulders the primary Morant burden. Gary Payton II will be a necessary irritant. But that would’ve been Thompson’s assignment in his pre-injury prime. There’s still an obvious desire to return to that level of perimeter defender, who can check both big wings and speedy guards. “I think I’m at like 80 percent,” Thompson said. “Still have a long way to go. But 80 percent me is still great on that side of the ball. I can use my strength to body guys, my size to body smaller guards. Be solid against big men. I can still switch. But as far as my lateral quickness, it’s about — from where it was — it’s about 80, 85 percent from where it was. I know it’ll take time to come back. There will be bumps in the road.”
