a glass-cleaning force with elite efficiency and double-double instincts
In the 2025-26 season, James Thompson IV was producing 13.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 63.3% shooting for Eastern Michigan, the kind of stat line that makes coaches salivate and opponents mutter under their breath[2]. He’s the definition of a paint problem: relentless on the glass, highly efficient around the rim, and historically one of EMU’s best rebounders ever[1][7]. The fit is obvious for a team needing physicality, low-usage production, and toughness inside—basically, a guy who turns missed shots into second chances and brings real old-school bite.
