Outstanding shooter. Really good shooter off the catch, hands and feet ready and set as the ball is coming to him. Can get into the defender and get by him or pull the trigger on a jumper.

Thomas plays for one of the best public school teams on Long Island in Kings Park. Thomas is at his best when he has the ball in his hands. He can attack the basket, breaking down defenses, which leads to a finish at the rim from Thomas or he makes a great pass to an open teammate. Thomas is also great when he doesn’t have the ball, cutting and getting himself open to knock down a 3.

Thomas has always been a good player just under the shadow of Matt Garside Matt Garside 6'2" | SG Kings Park | 2023 State NY . With Matt graduating Thomas will be leading the show for Kings Park, this upcoming season. Thomas handles the ball very well and is great with attacking the basket. Thomas when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands is always moving around to get himself an open 3, which he knocks down 9/10 times. Thomas is very unselfish and will make the right read based off the defense on whether to attack to swing the ball. Thomas is a player you will definitely want to keep your eye on throughout the spring.

Here is another one of those top shooters I told you about. Had 18 in the championship game. Outstanding shooter. Can score off the catch or get off his own shot. Uses his handle to back the defenders back off him and then can pull the trigger with a step back or side step three.

The young guard showed off his three point range nailing 3 threes for his 11 points, Thomas is an outstanding shooter. Also has improved at getting to the rim. He is able to draw defenders and kick it to the other sharpshooting Kingsman players.

#90 Thomas moves from #106. Seems like Kings Park is turning out tremendous shooters of the basketball one after another. Thomas fits perfectly in that mix. Unlimited range. He has added another weapon to his scoring artillery driving the ball to the basket. A flat out scorer.

Another good guard for the Kingsman. Must be something in the water in Kings Park that developed shooters. Outstanding deep range. Has quick hands on defense.
