Ryan Thompson is still the Bronc standard-bearer — efficient, fearless, and built for big shots
In the 2025-26 season, Rider guard Ryan Thompson was a high-usage scoring engine, averaging 17.2 points across 33 games while also adding 47 threes and an 81.8% mark at the line, a profile that screams shot-creator and late-game option. His best trait is two-way toughness: he attacks relentlessly, takes contact, and has the competitive edge coaches love, plus Rider has long leaned on the Thompson name as a program identity piece. If a team needs a confident guard who can carry volume without blinking, he’s a fit; if it needs low-drama efficiency and clean spacing, the 32.4% three-point clip is the main watch-out.
