A Closer Look: Gianni Thompson

Position: Long Wing/Small Ball 4

High School: Brimmer and May (MA)

AAU Program: Mass Rivals

Class: 2021

Overview: Positional versatility has been a key component of Ed Cooley’s roster building process, and perhaps no Providence recruit in the class of 2021 offers more wing/four flexibility than Gianni Thompson.

Thompson, who plays for the same Brimmer and May high school and Mass Rivals AAU programs that helped develop AJ Reeves into one of the top shooting guard prospects in the country, flashes moments of eye-popping ability.
