a gritty Marquette guard with size, touch, and old-school edge
Jake Thomas is listed as a Marquette guard, but the available record shows his impact was as a big-bodied, 6-foot-3 perimeter player who once brought shooting gravity and toughness to the Golden Eagles. In the 2012-13 season, he averaged 1.8 points, 1.0 rebound, and 0.6 assists in 9.0 minutes per game, while hitting 27.8% from three[1][2]. The standout differentiator was not box-score fireworks; it was energy, physicality, and the kind of role-player willingness coaches love when they need a steady, team-first guard.[2][3]
