“He’s definitely talented,” praised LaMarcus Aldridge. “He has an early knack for scoring. Like he just knows how to score early already. His growth is coming along, far as knowing how to read, when he’s doubled, when to drop it off,” Aldridge said. Aldridge said he doesn’t have to coach Thomas up too much because Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving take the lead on that. He said it’s impossible not to be confident when you have those two helping you along. And Thomas soaks it all up. Just absolutely oozing confidence.
