Matt Thomas - Matty Ice

[Isaiah 1:13]

Tony Jones talked about this a bit on his pod. Mentioned this is really about next year... I think we are setting up contingencies for when we make some budget cuts next year and he's a guy they like.

I agree, from what I’ve seen and heard, he’s ahead of our GLeague prospects.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz are going to need minimum-salary guys who can play rotation minutes. This guy might fit.

I wouldn't mind throwing him out there and running a couple plays for him in the next few games, just to see what we have.

 

[whatthe]

Dang. I don't think he sits at all. I think he gets a couple minutes at least.

SAM MERRILL > MATT THOMAS

 

[DasJazz]

Dang. I don't think he sits at all. I think he gets a couple minutes at least.

His form is about as close to perfect as you can get.

 

[whatthe]

This highlight is hilarious with gun sounds and explosions.

 

[homeytennis]

Do we get to see him tonight?

 

[DasJazz]

Looking at his highlights, he is absolutely a cross between Reddick and Korver. This dude needs to get up to speed and on the floor with our 2nd unit ASAP.

He's basically another Clarkson for us but with a much better shooting touch.

So his numbers:

While in college he hit 40.1% from three, on 254/634. His junior and senior year, though, he hit 43.2% and 44.5%, respectively. 90.2% and 89.1% from the line as a junior and senior, as well.

In his two years in Europe he hit 47.2% on a total of 398 attempts. Also 91.3% from the line in that time.

45.7% so far in the league on 140 attempts.

 

[TheGoldStandard]

Didn't matter, but was pretty bad tonight in garbage time.

At least 3 turnovers, including the classic Giricek travel.

He will adjust maybe faster than Bojan? Time will tell

He's shooting .000 as a Jazzman from three.

 

[jom2003]

He's shooting .000 as a Jazzman from three.

So is ersan. Still don't get why we are signing this guy.

 

[Getting Traded]

You guys are so critical. The guy is really quick and he has a long history of being a lights out shooter, so calm down. I can see him getting minutes once he gets comfortable here.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Just wanna point out he regressed this year substantially. At least statistically speaking.

He makes 99% of his open shots, right? Guess after tonight he'll never miss again

He could be our Mike Penberthy.

 

[DasJazz]

New team 1st game jitters. Not knowing what to do within the offense and clearly pressing to make a play.

He'll be fine and we'll be singing his praises soon enough.

 

[kabenac]

He could be our Mike Penberthy.

A few years ago when I still lived in L.A. I bought sports cards from this guy who had a nice collection. He was also a Penberthy fan because Mike was nice to the guy's son - I don't remember if they met him after a game or at some fan event; I think the guy was religious as well as Penberthy is (I think he signed with a Bible verse included after his signature).

 

[416Klawzz]

Dude, people freaking out for our end of bench player geez give him time.
