He's clearly not the best long-term prospect we saw in San Antonio, but Canadian big man Kevin Thomas looks like the kind of player who will make college coaches very happy. Thomas is undersized (between 6-7 and 6-8), but he has long arms and solid mobility. He's a blue collar power forward with a high basketball IQ.
Thomas plays hard defensively, is a good rebounder, blocks the occasional shot and shows flashes of potential offensively (both facing and with his back to the basket). He's not exceptionally skilled or gifted physically, but nonetheless Thomas has the makings of a very good high-major player and could potentially be a very useful player for Canada at the international level down the road.
