Drafted fourth overall by the Houston Rockets, Amen Thompson was introduced to the game of basketball at a young age by his father, who wanted both his sons to become standout athletes. Having grown up in San Leandro, California, the Thompson family moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in hopes of better opportunities for their kids.

In Fort Lauderdale, Thompson joined Pine Crest High School, where his exceptional skills and on-court potential began taking shape. In the 73 games that he played representing Pine Crest, Thompson averaged 15.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.6 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game.

Following his junior season, Thompson held lucrative offers from top colleges such as Arizona, Alabama, and Kansas but interestingly signed with the Overtime Elite – a newly established Basketball league created to promote and build younger talent who can go on to play pro ball around the world.

After playing two seasons at OTE, Thompson declared for the 2023 NBA Draft, where he was picked by the Rockets. In five games so far in the 2023/24 season, Thompson is averaging 5.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 15.4 minutes per game.
