Howard Samuel "Trey" Thompkins III (born May 29, 1990) is an American professional basketball player. Standing at 6 ft 10 in (2.08 m), he plays at the power forward position for the Formosa Dreamers of the Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL). He played college basketball for the Georgia Bulldogs.

High school career

[edit | edit source]

Thompkins attended the Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. During his junior year, Thompkins decided to attend Oak Hill Academy where he averaged 15.8 points per game and 8.9 rebounds. For his senior season, Thompkins averaged 27.5 points and 14.7 rebounds for Wesleyan as they won the Georgia High School Association Class AA state championship.[1] In May 2007, Thompkins committed to the University of Georgia for the 2008–2009 NCAA season despite offers from many other schools.[2]

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Thompkins was listed as the No. 11 power forward and the No. 30 player in the nation in 2008.[3]

College career

[edit | edit source]

In Thompkins's freshman season for the Bulldogs, he was named to the SEC All-Freshman team while leading the team in rebounding (7.4) and blocks (31 total) and second in points (12.6).[2] He missed the preseason practices and first four regular season games due to injury while the team eventually finished the season below expectations, having head coach Dennis Felton fired midseason.[4]

In his sophomore season, Thompkins skied to averages of 17.7 points and 8.3 rebounds. He was a unanimous vote for the first team All-SEC selection.[1]

Thompkins leveled out in his junior year statistically, while the Bulldogs eventually made it to the 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament only to be eliminated 68–65 in the first round to the Washington Huskies.[5] He was once again a first team All-SEC selection.[citation needed]

While preparing for the draft, there were concerns about Thompkins' body fat level of 15.5%. Jay Bilas describes Trey Thompkins' body fat percentage as "pretty good if you're a sea lion."

Nizhny Novgorod eventually finished its participation in the EuroLeague by finishing last in its Top 16 group, with 3 wins in 14 games. Over 23 EuroLeague games played, Thompkins averaged 14.5 points and a third best in the league 8.1 rebounds per game.
