Thomas opted to skip his final two seasons at Indiana in order to enter the
draft. As a second-round selection he will not have a guaranteed roster spot
with the Jazz. He was projected to contend for a lottery pick after his freshman
season, but he ultimately saw his stock take a hit during his sophomore
campaign. He projects to be rim-protector and high-intensity player, but it
remains to be seen if he has the athleticism to make it in the league.
