Butler’s steady floor general: Aaron Thompson brings defense, control, and record-setting passing
Aaron Thompson was a high-minute, high-trust point guard at Butler, finishing with the program’s career assists record and ranking among its all-time steals leaders, which signals real two-way value beyond basic scoring. In his Butler career, he averaged 6.8 points, 4.1 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while starting 136 of 139 games, and ESPN lists him at 6.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg, and 4.1 apg with 47.9% shooting. He is best for teams that want a composed organizer, defensive activity, and a proven leader rather than a usage-heavy scorer.
