<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It seems like size and height are talked about more than ever when looking at or evaluating prospects. But size is definitely not the end all when talking about how good or how effective a player is.

Thompkins has taken his talents to Muskegon, and that could be rough news for the rest of the state. Thompkins may not be tall, but he doesn't need to be. He's a flat out pit bull on the basketball court. Thompkins has a next level frame and next level strength. And he uses those effectively to dominate taller guards.
