Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA now Adonis Thomas (@AllDayThomas) will work out for HOU, POR, OKC, WAS, NYK, DET, MIL, ATL, UTA, DAL, PHI, MEM and LAL: I don't know much about him but his measurements are amazing for his size. From draftnet:
Member of the 2010 U17 USA squad that won Gold at the U17 World Championships in Germany ... Was a RCSI Top 10 player in the high school class of 2011 ... Did not really live up to those high standards while at the NCAA level, though was a two year contributor ... Athleticism and length make him an intriguing SF prospect, though his lack of production and raw skill package make him a probable late 2nd round pick ... Played at Memphis under a young, inexperienced coaching staff that has underachieved thus far in developing NBA talent. Figuring out how much his lack of development is due to coaching is a key piece in figuring out the enigma of Adonis Thomas's potential ...
Isn't afraid of taking it to the rim, so he has that going for him but I didn't see any defensive plays in this clip, rarely do with these highlight reels.
Although he showed flashes this season, carrying Memphis in an early season loss against VCU and putting together a string of dominant performances in February, he struggled with consistency. In his final game as a Tiger, Thomas was not a factor in Memphis’ 70-48 loss to Michigan State in the third round of the NCAA tournament last month, contributing five points, two rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes.
