On him moving up in mock drafts...
"I'm not sure if I am but I've been getting positive feedback. I've played pretty well in these workouts so I'm just going to keep working. If I keep moving up draft boards, I can't complain; that's what I'm hoping. Everyone wants to be the No. 1 pick but I can't complain with being a lottery selection or being a first-round pick. So I'm just thankful I've got that opportunity."

On how much he studies the team's roster before he goes into a workout...
"I watch a lot of NBA so I know about all the teams. I think I'd be a perfect fit (with the Bucks), playing alongside Brandon (Jennings), a kid who's great with the ball, a great passer. I don't need the ball in my hands to be effective so I think I'd be a great asset to any team. I think here, I'd be a perfect fit because I can stretch the floor, be a great threat from the off-guard position and be a complete guard; defend, rebound, pass, do whatever the coach asks me to do."

On if he sees himself fitting in with the Bucks defensive system...
"Oh yeah. I had some demanding coaches at Washington State who were all about defense so I know a lot of defensive schemes. I think there's going to be a lot of new stuff thrown at me if I come here and I'll be able to adjust. It will take some time but with hard work and focus, I'll be good."

On how much of his defense he learned from former Washington State coach Tony Bennett...
"A lot. A tremendous amount. Not all individual defense either; a lot of help D and just being in the right position. I learned a lot from Coach Bennett."

On if his ability to score is his selling point...
"That's just one of them. I've always been known as a good shooter so I have to continue to work on my handle and off the dribble moves, which I've been getting better at. I think I'd add a great scoring addition to this team, they struggled to score, and I think I'd be the perfect fit."

On his familiarity with Brandon Jennings...
"I used to play against him a lot when he was at Dominguez (High School), when he was a freshman and sophomore, and I was down at Santa Margarita (High School), playing with him in AAU. It was a lot of fun, so I know all about his game and I think we'd be a great combo in the backcourt."

On what advice his dad, Mychal Thompson, gives him...
"He just tells me to work hard and he said if I expand my game, I'll show people that I can play at this level and he always just tells me to be thankful; especially if I get to go to draft day. He always reminds me that when he got drafted, there was one hand-held camera there and there wasn't a lot of coverage. So he tells me it's a huge event and just be really thankful because it was a lot different back then."

On if he's watched old film of his dad play...
"I got to go to Washington for a workout and Coach (Flip) Saunders was on his team and he gave me a few DVDs (from his playing days) back at (the University of) Minnesota. It's pretty cool watching him play at our age and just seeing what type of player he is and I'm really thankful. He's got that knowledge of the game, so I learned so much from him."

On his workout schedule...
"I've got three more I think and this will be my, I think, eighth or ninth. I've got Golden State, Sacramento and Utah left."

On what he learned from his marijuana incident...
"I learned a lot. I'm not going to say I'm happy it happened but it's almost good it happened sooner rather than later because I was going down a wrong path. If I want to live up to my potential and play in this league, I can't be messing around with that stuff. I haven't done it since ...It was a humbling experience."

On what he tells teams...
"I tell them pretty much the same thing I just told you. I've been asked about it so many times, which is understandable. I know they've got to do their homework, research and see what kind of kid I am. So I just tell them the truth because if you don't, they're going to find out either way."

On how he can play the point along with the shooting guard position...
"I think that's going to be really valuable at the next level because there's so many versatile players in this league, so if you can do everything, that's just going to prolong your career. I'm just trying to work on every part of my game as much as possible. If I keep doing that, I think I'll be successful."

Milwaukee Bucks Director of Scouting Billy McKinney
On the top contenders in today's workout...
"The top two prospects in this workout today: Jordan Hamilton from Texas and Klay Thompson from Washington State, both very good shooters at the small forward position. Both players, I think, will be able to play a little bit of shooting guard in the NBA as well."

On Klay Thompson and Jordan Hamilton...
"I think Klay is a player that can play multiple positions. He's good enough with the ball to even be able to play some backup point at some points. Jordan is more of a two-three, but both players have a lot of versatility in their games and they have the ability to shoot the ball really well from deep outside, something of course - as you well know, we were deep in the thrones of shooting the ball poorly last year - and those guys could certainly help us quite a bit."

On if Thompson and Hamilton were matched up against each other in the workout...
"They went against each other, but we tried to have them work against other players as well so it didn't seem like a Hamilton vs. Klay Thompson workout, and they both had very good workouts today."

On if having a father who is a former NBA player impacts the Bucks view of Thompson...
"I'd say one of the things that matters a lot is that he's had a tremendous amount of experience in talking to his dad about the transition to the NBA. He's been around the game. When he was younger, his father was around the game so that's helpful quite a bit, but the bottom line is you can have a father that's played but you have to get it done between the lines. Klay has proven that he can do that on a consistent basis."

On if Thompson's relationship with Brandon Jennings has any impact...
"Klay knows Brandon, but so does Jordan Hamilton. Their families are very close. These guys played a lot of AAU ball together and the bottom line is - I was asked that question last year about Tiny Gallon, was I not? - (and it) didn't make much of a difference that he knew Brandon. But the bottom line is both of those players, Jordan Hamilton and Klay Thompson, are very good players. They're first round draft picks and they're here because we're looking at them at 10 and they could go from that 10 to 15, 17 slot."

On the 3-point game of Thompson and Hamilton...
"He (Thompson) shot the ball very well from behind the NBA 3-point line today, so he does have the range, and so does Jordan Hamilton. The one thing about Jordan is you look at him with that Texas team, which was very good this year and they would tell you that they felt they underachieved, but he also has the ability to create shots off the dribble a little better than people think he does."

On if he feels Thompson is moving up in the draft...
"Absolutely. He's had some good workouts, he's been to a lot of teams. I think he said he's been to at least 12 teams, so people are looking at him in a variety of ranges and once he gets into the workouts, much like the European players, he's so fundamentally sound that going through the workouts really is a benefit for him and the teams that are looking at him."

On how much they look at size in a guard...
"With Klay Thompson and Jordan Hamilton, both of those guys are multi-positional players. Again, as I said earlier, they can play both the two and three positions. Klay has a little bit of an edge at some point because he can play the point guard position. He handles the ball out on the floor a little bit, but having the size to defend some of the players that we face in the Eastern Conference, if you're playing multiple positions is definitely a benefit."

On Hamilton and Thompson compared to Colorado's Alec Burks...
"Burks does get to the hole probably a little bit more, that's his forte. He has to improve his outside shooting a little bit as everybody knows, but I would say that's probably the biggest difference. These guys really shoot the ball well. Burks has mid-range game, he's going to have to extend his range as a professional player."

On who is the best defender of the three...
"I think they all have their strong suits. Hamilton can probably even play some smaller power forwards. Klay Thompson probably can defend the three perimeter positions and Burks probably some one and some two, a little bit of small forward. They each can defend a variety of positions."
