The Cleveland Cavaliers are fresh off of an NBA Championship and have kicked off the 2016-17 season with an impressive 19-6 record.

Thompson is currently averaging 7 points per game to go with 10 rebounds per game. In fact, aside from his first year in the league, he has averaged over 8 rebounds per game which is very impressive.
