Senior USC transfer Saint Thomas is a 6-7, 220-pound forward who comes to Troy after a season at Northern Colorado (2023-24) and two at Loyola Chicago (2021-22 and 2022-23). He enters the coming season having started 73 career games between his previous two schools.
The USC Trojan forward averaged 19.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 32 games for Northern Colorado in 2023-24.
Thomas is a four-star prospect in the 247Sports transfer portal recruiting rankings. He’s USC’s highest rated transfer commitment as the No. 54 overall player and No. 11 small forward.
Saint Thomas is a projected early to mid first-round pick in the 2025 NBA draft as of now, but we obviously have a long way to go in the process leading to next June’s big event.
The Nebraska native and former Gatorade State Player of The Year will be the projected leader in points and rebounds for USC in the upcoming season.
Eric Musselman and the Trojan basketball team won’t have many NBA prospects for this season, but I believe they will have more wins and Thomas’ success will be vital in leading them to a better record.
This is HUGE for Saint Thomas’ 2025 draft outlook. Going into the season already on draft radars puts him in the mind and eyes of NBA scouts (cause we all know they don’t do any deep scouting) and when he has the season I expect him to have there’s no reason he can’t go round 1. https://t.co/cZdvHv2KXZ
