Summary:

Race Thompson is an energetic, high-motor big man that played for Indiana in college basketball. He was recently invited to play at the 2023 Portsmouth Invitational. He is a hustle player that excels at making plays on the perimeter, but he is also an undersized power forward that will need to improve his outside shot and show that he can guard quicker players out on the perimeter. Currently, he is a borderline second round candidate for the 2023 draft.
