Re: new guy

[Roy Enrile <renrile@qualcomm.com>]

Back at Providence (where he played w/ God Shammgod, and I think the
C's Shaun Brown, was the strength coach), Thomas seemed to play like Lou
Roe or Ruben Patterson, an strong explosive undersized interior player,
with heart.

He used to get some Intimidating rebounds, and I thought he might
have a shot at the NBA if he had better guard skills.  Hope the kid turns
out similarly to Patterson(Sonics starter), with a long range jumper.
