Jim Hayford on Reuter: “Thomas gainedgreat experience last year. He had quality playing time as afreshman, and he had some standout games. The key for Thomas thisyear is to develop consistency. He can shoot the ball from theoutside better than he did a year ago, and he will rebound betterat his position. He has acclimated to a new country and to the U.S.college game. I expect him to have a much improved sophomoreseason.”
