Erik Thomas remains a rugged, do-it-all forward with pro-level rebounding and winning pedigree
Erik Thomas is a physical, versatile forward whose calling card has long been production on the glass, high motor, and shot-making for his size; at New Orleans in the 2016-17 season, he averaged 19.3 points and 7.8 rebounds while helping lead the Privateers to a Southland title and earning conference Player of the Year honors. His game fits a team that needs toughness, rebounding, and a dependable frontcourt scorer who competes every possession. The catch: he’s now a veteran pro, so the main question is less upside than fit, role, and whether you want an experienced edge-player who brings energy and credibility.
