About Elliott
Expert Analysis
Thomas Hofler III | Prep Hoops Scout
Elliott Thompson was a standout player for Bears Tail 15U that made a significant impact on the game against Pro Skills Dallas 16U from the very start. Offensively, he excels at making plays by going downhill and countering bumps from opposing defenders into scoring angles. Even without the ball, he’s a reliable spot-up shooter, consistently hitting a good number of three-pointers during my evaluation of his game. Defensively, Elliot plays tight defense, applying pressure on opposing ball handlers full court in the press defense that Bears Tail 15U employed. His defensive pressure resulted in numerous steals.
