Expert Analysis
Alyx White | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Thompson can really make things happen inside or out. She has good handles, she makes good passes, she can score at all 3 levels, and she can create for her teammates. She’s got excellent size and strength, and she used that to her advantage game-in and game-out. When Thompson saw a mismatch, she could post up inside or make a strong drive to the hoop. She was able to finish through contact or knock down free throws. Thompson was constantly making good things happen for Whitefield and I have a feeling she will continue doing that next season at the University of the Cumberlands.

Thompson is a tough match-up for most teams because she has excellent size and strength, but also has a ton of guard skills to go along with that. She is Whitefield’s leading scorer at 13.7 PPG and she also averages 6 RPG.

Whitefield has a really balanced attack but Thompson is their Alpha. Amy makes her living inside the three point line but can knock down perimeter jumpers if left open. She could be the key to a long run for Whitefield if they’re going to make one.

Read EvaluationJoshua Mercer | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Thompson is a scoring machine and dogged defender. She averaged 15.4 points per game last season while making 45.8% of her field goals and 38.3% of her three-pointers and 70.4% of her free throws. It is obvious just from her stats that one of her strengths as a player is her shooting. Watching her play what stands out the most is how hard she drives to the hoop to score and that defensivelly she is often the tip of the spear. rnWhat has impressed me the most recently about her game has been moving into the High Post this summer to failitate offense. When she fully grasps how to score from the position look out. The rip and go, elbow jumper, a pull-up jumper are all within her tool box, but she is more used to using them from the wing or top of the key. One reliable post-up move with a counter could easily push her into a 20 or 25 point per game scoring average. rnLike many top Small Forwards, can play any position on the court in a pinch. Especially handling the passing responsibilities of a Point Guard. She is excellent at finding her temmates for open looks from the perimeter and really ecelled at the inside-out passing from the post. rn
