Anyone worried about him playing "Hero" basketball?
Alienate the teammates maybe?
Compared to an average player, yes. But he's 5'8, and you need to be ultra aggressive to survive as a short player. I actually think Thomas is kind of passive for such a short guy (compared to say Nate Robinson or Spud Webb). He seems very fundamental. Admittedly, I haven't seen full games yet, but his highlights are all sound basketball decisions. He shows above average confidence in his shot, but it goes in at a good rate, and, on this team, we need someone to look shot first sometimes. And what everyone else said- he passed well in Phoenix (making the fundamental decision yet again to pass quickly out of a double).
