Shevon Thompson (born June 10, 1993) is a Jamaican professional basketball player for Spartak Subotica of the Serbian League (KLS) and the ABA League. He played college basketball for Midland College, Harcum College, and George Mason.
Thompson grew up playing soccer in Jamaica. He never played basketball until his junior year of high school, when a woman noticed his height and asked if he knew how to play. Thompson replied no, so the woman offered to teach him later. Thompson became more comfortable the more he played and began attracting attention in the United States.[1]
College career
Thompson began his college career at Midland College and played a season at Harcum College. He transferred to George Mason as a junior, selecting the Patriots over offers from Butler, Wichita State and Old Dominion partially because coach Paul Hewitt grew up in Jamaica. As a junior, he averaged 12.5 points and 10.9 rebounds per game.[1] As a senior at George Mason, Thompson averaged 9.9 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. He was selected to play in the Reese's College All-Star Game.[2]
