Drafted 11th overall in 2011 out of Washington State, when he made his debut he made it known to everyone that this guy was going to be a superstar. Averaging 19.5 points per game… wait… those are Klay Thompon’s stats. The Chicago White Sox did not sign Klay, they signed his brother. In the second round of the 2009 draft, the White Sox selected Trayce Thompson out of high school.
He played in the rookie league to Low-A Kannapolis from 2009 to 2011. In 2012, he was promoted three times from Single-A Winston-Salem to Double-A Birmingham and then ending his 2012 at Triple-A Charlotte.
