Expert Analysis
Brady Peterson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
The past few months have contained the best basketball I’ve ever seen Thompson play. She was a player I discussed before the weekend, and she looked excellent in the minutes I saw her play. She looked like she had a burst off the dribble, rebounded well, was physical around the basket, and even knocked down a three within the flow of her team’s offense. She may be a player who coaches are surprised by if they see her play sometime in June or July.

I feel the Thompson I saw in January is not the same player I saw a few months ago. The Bay Port forward played some of the best basketball I’ve seen her play in New Berlin at an earlier PGH event, and she looks more comfortable being the player she is than she has ever been. The more physicality she brings to the frontcourt, the better she will be in the long run, and she plays with a chip on her shoulder and seems to be taking every matchup she has as personal as ever.

The Bay Port forward has turned a corner in the last three months and is playing the best basketball I’ve ever seen her play. She is playing hard whenever she’s on the floor and being a physical presence around the basket. She is buying into being a post player who can control the area around the basket. Thompson seems to have found the right place for her to thrive with Wisconsin Legends , and will be a name to know in her class.

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.
