That's a bit of an overstatement. Thompson can easily be a regular double-double guy. He's been asked to play a ton at Center because Varejao is always getting hurt. At Power Forward, Thompson gets a lot of rebounds especially offensive ones. He's not a very good shooter and he needs to be a better finisher. The second half probably comes with better coaching, which he should have for the first time.
If you stick him at Power Forward and leave him there, he is actually a good defender and rebounder with ability to score in double digits. You could do a lot worse.
