The NBA regular season continues, and today, the Charlotte Hornets officially announced that the team will extend the contract with 33-year-old guard Isaiah Thomas until the end of the season. The name Isaiah Thomas may surprise some fans, but a different name may be easier to accept – Thomas Jr.
This season, Thomas Jr. has signed with the Lakers, Lone Rangers, and Hornets, and his stats and contributions are not bad, but for various reasons he has not been able to stay in the league for a long time. Until he signed a contract with the Hornets, during his signing with the Hornets, the Hornets were 7-2, and in the 7 games he played, Thomas Jr. averaged 13.4 minutes of playing time per game, averaging 9.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 46.2% from the field, and shooting nearly 50% from three-point range, which was 48%, which was worthy of this 10-day short contract.
It is because of Thomas Jr.'s outstanding performance that the Charlotte Hornets have also officially decided to renew their contract with Thomas Jr. until the end of the season. Unlike the previous 10-day short contract, thomas jr. can be regarded as an official NBA player contract, and as a former NBA All-Star player, thomas Jr. has fallen to the bottom of the current bottom.
The strongest 175 on the surface, this is the title given by fans to Thomas Jr. Thomas Jr. is a small and fast blocking guard, tough and able to break through; has a three-point range, the first choice is to score rather than pass; the defense is very hard, fearless confrontation, always make some correct choices on the court, and can also transfer the ball. He can really affect the performance of the entire team, can break into the interior to tie the scoring responsibility together, and in terms of scoring efficiency, it is also a powerful endpoint on the offensive end.
Thomas Jr. has not played a game for a long time until the end of the season, and since 2017, Thomas Jr. has begun a wandering journey, in just four years, Thomas Jr. has been in 9 teams, during which Thomas Jr. played the longest time for the Cavaliers, but only played 40 games. Giving Thomas Jr. a contract until the end of the season is undoubtedly a great affirmation for Thomas Jr.
Although Thomas Jr. has no physical talent and no defensive ability, he has an unparalleled sense of rhythm, Thomas Jr. was the engine of the offensive rhythm in the Green Army, and the Hornets may be the point of view of Lamelo Ball as the starting point guard of the team, inexperience is his biggest shortcoming, especially in the case of team disadvantages, Ball can only do singles most of the time, but can not help his teammates play a counterattack rhythm, which has improved after Thomas's arrival. Thomas Jr. is good at mastering the team's offensive rhythm, and he can quickly get the team into shape when it is time to slow down, thereby improving the stability of the shot.
In this regard, Thomas Jr. was also the first to speak out through personal social media: "God is still there!" Never give up! Be patient and polish! "Even though Thomas Jr. is at the end of his career, it's a great consolation for Thomas Jr. to be able to get a contract at this stage.
