University of Georgia's Trey Thompkins Top 5 Performances for the 2010-11 Season

As an University of Georgia basketball fan, I believe that Trey Thompkins has the skills to be a solid NBA player and his offensive skillset reminds me of Carmelo Anthony.

Thompkins has great ability, but sometimes conditioning has been a factor and it may be affecting his draft status. Carmelo Anthony had those same issues early in his career, but was able to get through it and re-dedicate himself to the weight room.

Thompkins' above average offensive skillset won't do him any good if he can't stay in shape and it begins with him. He is a young man who has come out early to submit his name to the NBA Draft, but the window of opportunity is very slim regardless of where he is drafted.

Thompkins must make a good first impression at the draft combines and for the team that eventually signs him to a contract.

Coaches know he has the skillset, but physical discipline and a desire to get better are also required when one gets to the NBA level as well.

The following is the Trey Thompkins' Top 5 performances at the University of Georgia d\for the 2010-11 season:
