One of the top players in Ohio’s 2030 class, Thomas Jr projects to be an immediate contributor for New Albany at the varsity level and a name Columbus basketball fans will be immediately familiar with if they watched the Buckeyes in the 2010’s. Thomas Jr is an elite shooter on the wing and his shot is incredibly pure off the catch with range stretching out a few feet behind the 3-point line already. Thomas Jr also found success attacking closeouts on the perimeter as defenders would sprint out to try and contest his shot, only to have him drive right by them and score. I liked how Thomas Jr played on balance, taking 3-pointers with his feet set and playing under control as a driver. Top prospect to watch in central Ohio!

The rising freshman and Ohio State legacy recruit looked right at home on Thursday playing on the main court of the Schott. Thomas Jr is an elite shooter who has a quick release and played well off his teammates who moved the ball quickly and found him when he was open. While it’s extremely early to scout 2030 prospects, Thomas Jr looks like one of the best in Ohio thanks to his shooting ability, strong frame and potential to grow.
