a pass-first Austin Peay guard who controls pace and creates for others
Thompson projects as a steady, distribution-minded guard whose value comes more from organizing offense than volume scoring: in the 2015-16 season at Austin Peay, he averaged 2.1 assists to 1.5 turnovers in 21.4 minutes while adding 3.3 points per game.[1] His best fit is a team that needs a low-drama floor general who can run sets, make the extra pass, and keep possessions alive, though his sub-32% field-goal clip and 27.3% three-point shooting show he was more facilitator than shot-maker.[1][7]
