The Thompson twins, Amen and Ausar, have begun the process of acquiring Jamaican citizenship. The two can become citizens because their father is Jamaican. This would allow the Thompson twins to play for Jamaica on the national team level.
Jamaica has reportedly secured a commitment from Norman Powell of the LA Clippers to play in upcoming FIBA events. The Jamaican national team is also recruiting Nick Richards of the Phoenix Suns, Isaiah Stewart of the Detroit Pistons and Josh Minott of the Minnesota Timberwolves to play for the team as well.
Amen Thompson plays for the Houston Rockets in the NBA, while Ausar Thompson suits up for the Detroit Pistons. Both players are already considered top perimeter defenders and rising stars in the NBA.
