Houston Rockets guard, Amen Thompson, stated that he’s harbouring hopes of representing Jamaica on the global stage. 

The 23-year-old averaged 18 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5 assists last season and added that based on the JAMROCKERS’ growth on the circuit, he wants to be part of the programme. 

Thompson has strong Jamaican roots through his dad, Troy, who was born in Jamaica.

His uncle, Mark Thompson, represented Jamaica in the 400 metres hurdles at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
