Garnett Thompson brings old-school frontcourt production to Providence
In the 2001 season, Garnett Thompson gave Providence a reliable interior presence, averaging 4.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.8 assists while shooting 41.9% from the field. At 6-foot-9, he was valued for his size, rebounding, and ability to chip in as a steady forward rather than a flashy scorer. Providence’s own game notes highlighted his first double-double as a Friar and his strong junior-college résumé, including 24 points and 16 rebounds per game at Suffolk, which suggests a high-motor, physical fit for teams needing toughness and board work.
