Tristan Thompson was drafted fourth overall in 2011, which made history as that made him (since broken) the highest-drafted Canadian.  While it can be argued that Thompson has not lived up to the lofty expectations that were placed upon him, it has been a good career thus far.  Four times as a Cavalier, Thompson would average more than 10 Points per Game, but his real strength has been rebounding, specifically on the offensive side of the ball.  In four straight seasons (2012-13 to 2015-16) he finished in the top five in total Offensive Rebounds and in the 2015-16 campaign he finished first in Offensive Rating.  That season he would help the Cavaliers win the NBA Championship.

Thompson left Cleveland after nine seasons for Boston as a Free Agent, having averaged 9.4 Points and 8.7 Rebounds per Game in 619 Games.
