When news broke of the Boston Celtics electing to sign shooting guard Brodric Thomas to the team’s final open two way slot to play alongside sharpshooting forward Sam Hauser, more than a few fans were taken by surprise, having heard little to nothing previously about this Division II prospect who went undrafted out of Truman State University in the 2020 NBA draft.
But astute Celtics fans will recall facing the 6-foot-5 wing in the 2020-21 season while he was playing as a two way player for the Cleveland Cavaliers, one of two stops (the other being the Houston Rockets) that the Bolingbrook, Illinois native has seen since coming into the league.
Able to do a little of everything, the unpolished wing could prove a valuable depth player down the road with enough reps, and he will get plenty playing for the Maine Celtics (formerly, Red Claws ) this season.
But don’t take our word for it — watch the highlights put together by YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski in the clip embedded above.
