Breakout Candidate: 2018 Greg Thomas
Putnam City West has a history of talented guards over the last couple years and 2018 guard Greg Thomas is up next for a breakout year.
Omega Harris, Tyson Jolley, Marquis Johnson, and Gerren Jackson have been apart of PC West’s most successful era in school history.
Although, the Patriots have high-level talent in its ranks like 2020 Rondel Walker, veteran guards like Greg Thomas will he have a bigger role. He will also be expected to be a leader on a young team.
At 5’8, Thomas is a dynamite lefty who can score in bunches.
When coaches are yelling to force him right, Thomas finds a way to get to the rim and the free throw line.
PC West is looking to bounce back from a regular season with disappointing losses. They got hot down the stretch but loss steam at State.
They will need Thomas to be an aggressive scorer and positive championship leadership to bring consistency to a young but talented PCW roster.
It will be interesting to see Thomas assend while his teammates mature throughout the season.
Thomas can improve the consistency of his jumper and become a better passer but with time and work, Thomas can sure up those area prior to his senior season.
Thomas has been overshadowed his entire career by big time talent but now he gets his opportunity to breakout for his senior year.
