The 5-11 guard is a solid player. Defensively, Thompson can be a pest. He's effective on and off the basketball. Thompson is a reliable shooter.

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2797237' first='Carey' last='McClain Jr.'], Kirby: The 6-2 was dynamic throughout the 2024 season. He's a newcomer at No. 80. He eclipsed 1,000 points and was one of the best offensive players in the state. McClain is athletic, has good lateral movement, and has a quick, first-step. He finishes well around the rim. McClain has good ball handles and never has a problem taking his defender off the dribble. His shot making ability from different areas on the court makes him more dangerous.</p>
