Montana’s 6-foot-9 stretch forward is a two-way focal point
Thomas has become a high-impact frontcourt piece for Montana, averaging 11.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the 2025-26 season while shooting 47.3% overall and 43.9% from three, a rare combination of size and perimeter touch for a forward.[1][6] What makes him especially interesting is the way he stretches defenses, finishes efficiently, and still contributes as a rebounder and shot-blocker, giving a team lineups flexibility on both ends.[1] He also appears to have embraced a bigger leadership role in his final season, which matters if you want a plug-and-play, experienced forward with real two-way utility.[1]
