Tristan Thompson is attempting to add a jump shot to his offensive game in his sixth NBA season.

"To be able to throw it in the post to him sometimes during the game when he has favorable matchups," Tyronn Lue said. "Also, he has been working on his jump shot, little 15-foot jump shot and he's gotten confidence in that so we're going to let him shoot some of those this year and shoot it with confidence. Each year you want to bring back something to your game where you get better and you develop. He's done that and he's put the work in this summer. We're going to see where he's at."

Thompson works with James Posey on his shot after each practice.

"I'm trying to find it in the game out there," he said of his jumper. "There was no (opportunity). I was trying to do a pick-and-pop, but it's all good. In the flow of the game, if it's there, take it and shoot it. Why not? I'm getting enough reps up, I might as well take some."

Out of Thompson's 420 shots last season, 332 came less than five feet from the basket.
