Thompson looks like a college player right now at close to 6′, with a long wingspan, and a kid who clearly knows where the weight room is at Kell. Thompson is a threat to opposing defenses in a variety of ways, whether she is pulling up quickly from three-point range in transition or finishing impressively at the rim. Asiah has a very quick first step as well that she does a good job utilizing in the half court. She can get 20 points in the flow of the offense on any given night and Kell will need her to that more than once during region play and the tournament if she and her very talented teammates want to go out as state champions. The St. Johns commit has the potential to put up some very impressive point totals as a senior.

Thompson is another player from the Bounce Nation program who came into the GBCA Live event with multiple division one offers, the most recent being from Power Four program St. Johns in early April. Within 48 hours of the event being over, Thompson received offers from home state division one programs Georgia State and Mercer. No surprise here as she was excellent throughout the tournament, specifically very good in the game I saw against Dalton where she finished as the game’s leading scorer with 16 points in front of several college coaches watching courtside. Thompson was also the game’s leading scorer finishing with 19 points in Kell’s route over Fannin County. Asiah is a strong, powerful kid who knows where the weight room is and has excellent speed and explosiveness to pair with it. She looks like a college player right now and her physicality will translate very well on the the next level. As will her ability to defend and her competitiveness which is obvious when watching Kell play. She has all the intangibles to go along with her physical gifts and skills. She is a hardworking kid who plays with a very high motor.
