Ja’s Thompson wraps up collegiate basketball career in All-Star style
Jamaica’s Shevon Thompson was chosen as one of only 20 Seniors across Division One college basketball to play in the NCAA Seniors All-Star game recently.
Thompson, who attended Vere Technical and Quality Academics, was the first selectee for the official inaugural year of the Jamaica Basketball Elite Academy in 2012.
Thompson had a stellar career at George Mason University, where last season he was top five in the nation in rebounds, and led his team in scoring while receiving conference honours as an Atlantic 10, All Third team selectee.
The past season, under new coach Dave Paulsen, Thompson’s playing time dropped from 30 minutes per game to 22 minutes. He was still able to end up in the top 16 in rebounds in all of college basketball and is number one on a per minute basis.
