Zach Thompson is a prospect who grabbed our attention at the first PrepHoops Louisiana camp in August. Zach is a three point shooter who just doesn’t miss open shots. His grassroots coach believes that he is the best shooter in the state regardless of class.
Zach is a very humble person and very solid basketball player. He will be a big reason for Belle Chasse fate this season. We asked Zach a few questions and this is how it went.
What do you consider to be the strong points in your game?
“I feel that my strong points are jump shot and how I move without the ball. Also my hustle, I give a 100 percent non stop.”
What colleges have reached out and expressed interest in you?
“So far no school has directly contacted me but at the past camp I attended the Loyola assistant coach and southeastern assistant coach talked to my parents.”
What parts of your game are you working on this fall to make you a better player?
“I am working on my athleticism, specifically my speed and agility as well as strength training. Also working on my lateral quickness in the defensive end.”
During the game what do you try to focus on doing Offensively? Defensively?
“Offensively I focus on getting open for an outside shot and spacing the floor, also I like to get my teammates involved. Defensively I focus on my help side defense and closing out good, but still keeping my man out of the lane.”
How do you believe your role will change this high school season for your team?
“I feel I will have a great season as a scorer and defender, and I feel my teammates and I will have a solid season.”
How tall are you and what skills at that height do you think impressed college coaches this summer?
“I am currently 6'2″. I think my hustle and outside shooting may have impressed some colleges this summer.”
What is your GPA and have you taken the ACT yet and if so what is your highest score so far?
“My cumulative GPA is a 3.8 and I have taken the ACT once and got a 25. I plan on taking it two more times this year.”
