BIOGRAPHY

Rookie Forward who can also play both SF and PF because of his elite physical ability. With 1.98 meters, he is prototypical athletic ‘3’, strong and fast with great technical skills, facts that make him a very interesting profile for any team in the league. He is currently playing in the States Leagues of Australia (the league will end in August) with the NW Thunder. Previously, after being a top-100 All-America project in high school, Thomas played his first NCAA years at the powerful St. Mary’s University. In his senior year he was transferred to the University of California Baptist (NCAA D1), another good University where Thomas went for 10.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his best year there.

REPORT

In his style, Thomas stands out, in first, for his ability to score in transition and going to the rim, where he usually finishes attacking from the dribble. In those situations, Thomas shows a wide technical repertoire, using fakes, reverses and creating space to shoot short shots with regularity. He finishes in dunk whenever he can, and he can score in contact. He usually goes to the line, scoring regularly with % over 70%. He’s a good passer and has a great understanding of the game, to which Thomas adds an excellent ability to cut and attack the offensive rebound. Good shooter in open situations, although he must accelerate his mechanics to get to the next level. On defense, the American player is strong and versatile, showing great ability to hold 3s and 4s in inside positions and being able to defend quicker players with his legs. Able to play switching defense
