On February 24, 2022, Beijing time, another old acquaintance broke out, and the strongest 175 Thomas Jr. of the past once again played a very good play, and in his debut after joining the Nuggets' development league team, the Big Rapids Gold Nuggets, he appeared for 39 minutes, shooting 14 of 27 shots, slashing 45 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists!
Although the team lost, but Thomas Jr.'s play is still very noteworthy, to know that as a former NBA star player he still got the opportunity to return to the NBA this season, this season he played a total of five regular season games for the Lakers and the Lone Ranger, averaging 22.8 minutes per game, can get 8.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2 assists, the state is actually very general, especially the three-point shooting rate, only 20%!
For Thomas Jr., he is only 33 years old, and there is still a great possibility of returning to the NBA, after all, his shooting ability and passing ability are still good. But in the NBA, the targeting of small players is simply too great. Previously, in the Green Army's game, the reason why his problems on the defensive end were not exposed was largely because the team made up too much for him in the overall defensive system!
After leaving the Green Army, his overall effect on the court has dropped greatly, and for him, it is completely impossible to stand in the NBA on offense alone. So now at this age, it is still chasing the NBA dream, which is indeed worthy of respect.
I hope that the NBA team can notice the veteran who is still working hard, although the defensive end may not work well, but the league can also slash 45 points, as well as game experience, which team has a shortage of personnel, or you can find Thomas Jr. to come back to respond to an emergency!
