Unlocking the Hidden Gem: Which Top Restricted Free Agent Could Change the Game?
Thomas is a black belt in the practice of getting buckets. Last season, he placed in the 99th percentile in scoring volume (29 points per 75 possessions). However, he doesn’t provide much outside of that.
He’s never averaged more than 3.8 assists despite playing over 30 minutes per game in two of his seasons. And his defense is among the worst in the association (he ranked 568th out of 569 players in defensive DRIP).
He also isn’t an efficient enough scorer to warrant building a system around him. His scoring efficiency (57.9% true shooting) was only in the 56th percentile, and that was a career best for him, too! Juxtapose this with NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who averaged 33.8 points per 75 and was in the 91st percentile in true shooting.
