NBA Draft Scouting Report: Northern Colorado's Saint Thomas

Prospect Profile

A transfer from Loyola-Chicago who now stars for the Northern Colorado Bears, Thomas has absolutely blitzed the Big Sky Conference in his sole season competing, using a skillset that looks it will translate very easily to the professional level.

Thomas is the type that can do it all – an athletic 6-foot-7 menace, he hits threes, gets downhill attacking the rim, resulting in drawn fouls and free throws, rebounds the ball as a physical forward, distributes the ball, and defends extremely well.

Sure, he isn’t playing in a top conference, but his production can’t be ignored. While Thomas likely isn't a lottery pick, he is worthy of a selection in the 2024 NBA Draft.

When it comes to his ultimate ceiling, shooting is the question. Of course, part of the issue is a massive volume of shots. Given his role, he’s expected to take high volume attempts from deep, many of which are tough looks.

Regardless of competition and potential flaws, there’s no question that Thomas is the underrated player in this class that could thrive at the next level.
