At 6-foot-4, 290 pounds, the offensive tackle is a bulldozer in the paint. Thompson doesn't just overwhelm opponents with his strength though, he has thoughtful post moves, skilled in the pivot with nimble footwork. The back-to-the-basket scorer maneuvers his way to points and sagely uses his wide shoulders to his advantage. Thompson has the makings of becoming a two-sport star at Rockmart.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2419527"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Clopton is a good penetrator with a quick first step.

[player_tooltip player_id='2419528' first='Nigel' last='Broome'] will add toughness at the guard position with his speed and ability to get to the hoop. Nigel is aggressive when he puts his head down. While he can get all the way to the rim and draw fouls in the process, Broome also has a pull-up jumper that has a chance to become a real weapon. Defensively, Nigel is a sticky on-ball defender with a nose for the ball.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2419530"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"I liked the smoothness of [player_tooltip player_id='2419530' first='Maximus' last='Cook']'s game.
