Thompson and Owen are two different players. Although there is no comparability, we still have to make a choice. I think Thompson is better than others. My analysis is as follows.

First of all, Owen is mainly offensive, and his dribbling ability is excellent, but he is selfish. How to describe it is that he doesn't like to share the ball with his teammates, but his offensive ability can be said to be impeccable. Although he hasn't won the scoring champion yet, everyone is willing to call him a super scorer, so this is also Owen's characteristic. From this point, we can see that he is a player suitable for playing alone. Thompson focused on defense and no ball. It is worth reminding that not having the ball does not mean that this person's offensive ability is poor. Thompson just doesn't like holding the ball, and his offensive ability is no worse than Owen's, especially his catching and shooting are among the best in the active league, and he can be said to be one of the best three-point shooters in the league.

Secondly, Thompson is a three-point shooter who is second only to Curry in active service. He can also give consideration to defense while shooting well, mainly defending some arrow players. So coach Cole gave him the responsibility of the team's defense, and the facts proved that the coach's choice was correct. Thompson always gives good feedback to the team.

To sum up, Thompson is much stronger than Ou Wenqiang in both defense and attack, but he is not so conspicuous because of his personality. He is a low-key and reserved player, but it doesn't mean that his personal strength will be weaker than Owen's. On the scarcity of the alliance, Thompson is much more precious than Owen. Owen is an offensive player, and his duty is to hold the ball in his hand. In fact, he is very popular in the league. There are too many people who play better than Owen. From this perspective, Owen still needs to prove his strength. He joined the Nets because he wanted to leave James to win the championship. He wanted to leave James's blessing and prove that he could achieve something. Let's just say the child has grown up. Ironically, even if Owen wins the championship again, many people will still question him, because the Warriors he joined are a super strong team with Durant and Harden, which is similar to the feeling around James at that time. This is really a lonely team.
