Expert Analysis
Martin Crownhart | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Kailynn, a fast-rising Sophomore, put on an impressive showing, at the Expo. She really made her presence known, on defense, changing or altering several shots effectively shutting down the opposing team’s inside game. Already one of the state’s better post players, she showed off her speed, on one play, chasing down a fast break and blocking the shot from behind.

As mentioned, in a previous article, I came away impressed with Kailynn. She’s a strong, aggressive post player that showed a nice touch, around the basket, and is equally capable of finishing with either hand. Establishes strong post position and is tough to stop when she gets the ball on the block.

Strong, aggressive post player that showed a nice touch around the basket, and the willingness to step outside to keep the defense honest. She really made her presence known, on defense, changing or altering several shots and was particularly impressive on one play when she chased down a fast break and blocked a shot from behind. It’s easy to see why she’s ranked #1 at her position with tons of room for growth.

The Bay Port native has slowly found her way as the seasons aged. She’s had some massive nights around the basket that’s willed the Pirates to a win or two. Her touch around the rim has been solid, and her presence around the rim has been useful for a team that’s relied on perimeter talent most of the season.

Thompson is an outstanding defender who can hold her own against anybody in the paint. She is also an excellent passer and finds her teammates effectively when catching in the paint or on the perimeter. Offensively, she is a dominant presence in the post. She makes strong moves to the rim, finishes well, and battles for offensive rebounds against the defense. Her strength and basketball IQ allow her to play well through contact, using it to her advantage to create shots or angles to the rim. She adds significant value on both ends of the court as she averages 8.3 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 49% from the field for Bayport.

The Bay Port post has been a welcomed addition to the Pirates rotation. The 6’0 forward is a physical presence around the basket and balances out what the Pirates do offensively. Her physicality also allows Bay Port’s wings to defend on the perimeter and not get beaten up under the rim by opposing posts. Thompson is among the leading rebounders in the FRCC this season and has helped Bay Port win the rebounding battle in competitive games. She’s got solid touch, which will continue to develop as she gains more experience.
