Well in the local Israeli league, which is not a great league whatsoever his stats where:
13 games 20.1 Minutes 7.4 Pts 73.1% FT 4.2 DefR 1.3 OfR
In 2012, Blatt was excited about Thomas coming into Maccabi TA because of his athleticism and apparent upside. When he let Thomas go only 4 months later, his diagnosis was that Thomas was too young in terms of his game as well as mentally and has infact become a distraction to the team. Maybe Blatt sees some chance that Thomas has developed and matured during the past 18 months.
I think Thomas has good instincts and some skills on defense and is a rigorous strength program away from being able to contribute to the defensive rotation of a good NBA team.
