11/18/17 to 11/18/17
Bryan Thompson, of New Britain (CT) University HS Science & Engineering, is a 5'8 150lb 2019 prospect from our Fall 2017 BOSTON camp. College coaches on camp staff identified Bryan as having college potential. Bryan has a great wingspan that gives the player the potential to be a lock down defender and can be even more effective with active hands/feet. The very talented passer does a fantastic jobdistributing and seeing the floor. The player is always anticipating where and when teammates willbe open, a highly coveted trait in the team sport. In terms of ball handling, it was one of the strongest aspects of the player's game. The player makes great use of change of speed and change of direction. The prospect's Basketball IQ definitely stood out at camp and proved to be really good. Through continued emphasis on making the right play through watching/learning the game, it can be a big advantage in recruiting. A big part of IQ is shot selection. Bryan does a great job of understanding when there is enough time and space to shoot the ball and will continue to develop this knowledge by watching how this is done at various college levels. Making the extra pass and taking only open in-rhythm shots proved to be a reliable asset for the prospect. The prospect was able to consistently knock down shots during camp showing to be a reliable asset. Shooting will continue to develop with form shooting and made game speed repetitions. We recommend making at least 500 game speed shotsa day off the screen(curl/fades), off the bounce, spot shooting, etc. The talent impressed finishing around the rim through contact and in traffic. With continued work finishing through traffic with either hand, adding even more finishing moves, the player will continue to be a grave threat around the basket. The talented player has very good athletic ability for size and age. ScoutsFocus would like to see continued development in speed/agility and vertical development. Jump rope drills are greatfull body conditioning drill we highly recommend if not ready for a rigorous weight-training program. The prospect is very strong for their age. The college game is an entirely different beast so continued strength development is crucial to prepare going against 23-24 year-olds. Combined with the player's solid frame that should to continue to build year around, the player will be physically readyto play at the next level. The talent showed a very good motor (highly coveted skill by collegecoaches) that remained mostly active on possessions and from what we saw, the player had a physical and mental toughness that will be coveted at the next level. The player showed a great understanding and effort on the defensive side of the ball and should continue to focus on individual and team defensive concepts emphasized at camp. Bryan has college potential with continued hard work and development both in the classroom and on the hardwood. Can play the 1; 2. AAU Team: Academic Family Basketball Freedom Academy
