Kelli Thompson remains a UNLV legend: elite shot-maker, high-IQ scorer, and one of the Mountain West’s best pure guards
Kelli Thompson’s calling card at UNLV was a smooth scoring package built on deep range, rim pressure, and a very high basketball IQ; the Rebels’ own bio praised her as a top long-range threat who gets to the basket and improves defensively, while records show she finished with 1,840 career points and a program-record 238 made 3-pointers. Her game translated to big-time production, including 14.3 points per game in the 2011-12 season and 18.7 points per game in her senior season, so she’s the kind of guard who can bend a defense without needing the ball to be wasted. If you want a crafty, proven scorer with tough-shot creation and leadership juice, she’s a fit.
