Expert Analysis
Colby Giacubeno | Prep Hoops Scout
The other half of the 1-2 punch for Damascus is Thompson, a dynamic point guard capable of hanging a crooked number in the scoring column. His approach to getting bucket is very much either a three or rimming it. He can fill it up from outside off the catch and get into rhythm in transition if nobody steps up to stop the ball as he steps into his shot off the bounce. When he isn’t teeing off from three, Thompson is using his quick first step to attack closeouts where he can elude rotating defenders with long step-throughs, euros or revert to burying his shoulder into the contesting big in the air and drawing contact. Through the first 12 games, Thompson was good for 14.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals per contest.
