    Hi its Ben
    Participant

    I just noticed that his profile has him listed at 5-10.

    If he is 5-10 then I’ve gotta be atleast 7 ft tall. I mean come on he’s probably 5-7 and listed at 5-9 on ESPN. No where near 5-10.

     

    But I do like him as a prospect because he showed the ability to be a distributive PG also is so quick and really strong and athletic to make up for the lack of height he has.

    What seperates him and Nate Robinson as far as translation to the NBA game goes. Aside from Nates spectacular athletic abillity, and better outside range I think they could translate qite similar to the NBA game. Thomas definitely needs a bit more range but he should get drafted.

    I guess in this draft he gets drafted, but I don’t think I would draft him any earlier than mid to late 2nd round. I am not high on his game. If he improves the outside shot a lot b4 the season starts, then he could be better.

    The whole "just without as good as a jumper" is not insignificant for a sub-6 foot guard trying to make it in the NBA.

    scouts really dislike his game.thats a known FACT..He wont get drafted..

    But i think he’ll do well in summer league and get a training camp invite ..And make some team’s roster..

    Wow… IDK where yall get off saying that he wont get drafted but I think he will.. He carried his team to the sweet 16.. He can score and has show that he can run a team.

    Dont worry about the short thing, he has always been short and always played against bigger people.. Teams are always looking for PGs and this guy is that..

    I dont really like the Nate Robinson comparison.. IMO, Nate is sporatic and basically, a chucker.. I like Isaiah as a guy like TJ Ford or Jeff Teague.. Labeled as a "scoring" PG but isnt a chucker.. Still runs a team and does what is best for them.. How many times have you seen Nate Rob come down and set up an offense?? Not many..

    They have 3 things in common.  College atteneded, lack of size, and skin tone… Other than that, they are different.

    last year Scottie Reynolds was a 1st team all american and almost every draft site and fan had him as a late 1st or 2nd rounder….But scouts HATED HIS GAME and he went UNDRAFTED…They HATE Thomas game just as much…But i believe Thomas will play in the league..

    Why do they hate Thomas’ game? I don’t believe that.

    Quick, athletic, playmaker, extremely confident…

    …His only issue is size.

    Dale -My thoughts dont count..i believe Thomas has the talent to play in the league..but scouts dont think so..

    i said Scottie Reynolds wouldnt get drafted ..after i heard things scouts said about him..

    They said they didnt like Wes Matthews game ,and he went undrafted..But he made it..

    i remember them saying Haslem wasnt a nba player and they didnt like his game, so he didnt get drafted..but he made it..

    Matthews,Haslem and Reynolds were all high profile players from great programs just like Thomas…

    Thomas will have to prove himself in summer league…
