Kainan Thomas is a shot-making guard giving UTPB a timely spark
In the 2025-26 season, Kainan Thomas has shown real perimeter pop for Texas-Permian Basin, including a 15-point outing at CSU Pueblo where he hit 4 of 9 from three and added four assists; he also knocked down momentum-swinging threes and a stepback jumper in early Lone Star Conference play. His biggest differentiator is his confidence as a pull-up and catch-and-shoot guard who can create quick offense, while his box-score profile suggests he’s more of a shot-maker than a heavy-volume creator. At 6-1, he fits best with teams needing spacing, poise, and a fearless guard who isn’t shy in big moments.
