Duane Thompson is a versatile frontcourt role player with proven prep pedigree and upside
Thompson’s 2024-25 St. Bonaventure season showed a developing freshman forward who can space the floor a bit, rebound, and survive in a low-usage role, while his prep résumé highlighted a winning profile as a multi-tool contributor who helped power a national-championship prep team and was ranked among New England’s top 2024 prospects.
