Debra is looking for a house to buy on OKC. Dude, just stop. You aren't on a first-name basis with Hollis' mom...All it does is make you sound creepy. I heard Keith is interested as well. Bryan and Brandi may come visit. Courtney and Christian may fly to OKC as well.

Hollis Thompson Signs Three-Year Contract with Thunder by Rodger Bohn / @rodgerbohn www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2012/07/hollis-thompson-signs-three-year-contract-with-thunder/Former Georgetown swingman Hollis Thompson has agreed to a three-year contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The deal is partially guaranteed with team option for the second and third years. Thompson will not play in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas while still rehabbing a groin injury that was the primary reason he went undrafted last month’s Draft. Arguably the top shooter in the ’12 class, Thompson brings the Thunder another lanky player who is able to stretch the defense. While watching him train at Impact Basketball in Las Vegas, we saw him shoot 44-50 during one stretch from the NBA three-point line and routinely 80 percent from beyond the line. Shooting over 43 percent from deep in each of his three years at Georgetown, he’ll provide a viable shooting threat to an Oklahoma City team that ranked 11th in the NBA last season in team three-point percentage.

44 of 50 from the NBA three point line? Good lord. Get this guy into the three point shooting contest!

Congrats to Hollis! Hope he makes a big impact this year, as it's essentially a one year deal.

Always maintained, Hollis is a pro. He'll be better in pros. Why Wizards didn't give him a harder look with their shooting woes puzzles me...

Actually, sky does know the Thompsons. In that case, it was gratuitous boasting and namedropping, equally worthy of scorn (and still poor grammar)!! ;D Congrats, Hollis!! Now get to work on your scary-lookin' beard!

Wow. Great news for Hollis and landing with undoubtedly the best GM in the league on a team that is on the cusp of greatness is great for him. He will continue to work and being around those type of guys will make him a better player.
And it must feel good to prove a lot of naysayers wrong. An undrafted rookie getting a three year deal off no summer league action...not too shabby.

Wow. With the Domingo deal and this on Hollis, it's a big news day for Hoya fans. And this follows the big contracts Roy and, I believe, Jeff got during the past several days. Go Hoyas.

Hasheem Thabeet is a sleeper pickup. If he can be anywhere close to where he was in college, the Thunder will win the West a bunch of years in a row...

Thabeet is terrible. Drummond is he on steroids. No touch, no feel for the game, horrid from the stripe

Debra is looking for a house to buy on OKC. Dude, just stop. You aren't on a first-name basis with Hollis' mom...All it does is make you sound creepy. The Thompsons have made friends with a lot of the fans, nice people as Glide and Dan have said. You wouldn't know that sittine in NYC, I'll accept your apology for being stupid.
