Messiah Thompson Brings Veteran Shot-Making and Steady Guard Play to Long Beach State
In the 2024-25 season, Messiah Thompson gave Long Beach State a compact, high-IQ backcourt option: ESPN listed him at 7.4 points, 2.1 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game with 39.8% shooting from the field, and Long Beach State notes he has 818 career points and 150 made threes at a 36.7% clip across two Division I stops. The 5-8 guard isn’t flashy, but he’s experienced, efficient enough to space the floor, and has shown he can contribute as a seasoned playmaker who keeps an offense organized—solid fit if you want a dependable connector rather than a volume scorer.
