Thompson falls into that “never takes a play off” category and she was impressive in the first game as she rebounded, on both ends, scored around the basket, putbacks included and off the dribble, after contact, solid body control. She also played solid defense, inside and outside the paint, plus she showed good timing to block shots. The next time I caught her, she did all that plus drop the midrange and showed the “hands and footwork” to score inside
