Continue ReadingLavon Thomas is a 6’6” thick bodied power forward from St. Joseph’s that plays physical around the hoop. He is an under the rim big that has embraced who he is as a player. Boxes out and rebounds well on the interior. Crafty offensive rebounder that gets put backs. He is running with Young Legends on the circuit this summer. Worth a look for D3/NAIA schools going forward.
How was his sophomore year?
“It was a great year. We didn’t finish it out strong at state. We are losing big Nick (Rakocevic), but I think we can be good again with everyone coming back. I played a much bigger role than last year and had to do a little bit of everything.”
He spoke about his biggest assets as a player.
“I think my strengths are passing which is an underrated part of my game. Rebound well and defend. Good finisher.”
Also plays football as a defensive end and middle linebacker.
