Derek Thompson brings veteran shot-making and steady floor leadership to EMU
In the 2012-13 season, Derek Thompson was Eastern Michigan’s offensive engine, leading the Eagles with 11.7 points per game, and he previously tied an arena record with eight three-pointers in a game while dropping a career-best 31 points in 31 minutes[10][7]. His calling card was perimeter scoring and volume shooting, but the real value came from being a trusted guard who could heat up fast and stretch defenses without needing the ball constantly[15][7]. If you want a guard who can create instant offense and provide experienced backcourt poise, Thompson fits the bill.
