Widely considered by sports writers to be an inconsistent and underachieving player, at 6' 10" and 230 lb, Thomas can play either shooting guard, small forward or power forward, spending most of his time at small forward. He has tremendous range and athelticism, and can still make an impact after coming into a game cold. His career stats are 11.9 points per game, 1.4 assists per game, and four rebounds per game.
