What is that all about? Can he play right away? If so how would that work?

I'm familiar with this kid. He attended Hawthorne Christian Academy, a small private school in northern New Jersey. HCA competes in the same state bracket (Non-Public B North) as NJ powers The Patrick School (formerly St. Patrick), St. Anthony, Roselle Catholic, Gill St. Bernard and Hudson Catholic. Thomas is related to Tim Thomas (former NBAer and Nova player). His uncle is Jimmy Salmons who runs the NJ Playaaz, an AAU team out of Paterson, NJ. Thomas lives in Woodland Park over the mountain from Paterson. He needs polish and a year at a prep school will help. I saw him play in the Passaic County Tournament. He dominated a small-classification league. This would be a good get. Developing a relationship with Salmons is key. He has some of the nation's most high-profile kids in his Nike-sponsored program. I first saw Thomas two years ago at the Reebok Camp in Philly. He was overmatched as a sophomore but has improved considerably. -- TM
