Adonis Thomas moves to the head of the Class of 2011
Posted Aug 17, 2010
No player in the class has as much potential to impact the game in the long term as Adonis Thomas, who possesses the kind of size and athleticism at his position that evokes such stars as Vince Carter, Grant Hill and, dare we say, Michael Jordan. Thomas is not as highly rated by others because he has not been statistically overwhelming at the high school level. His high school team, his AAU team and the U.S. junior national team all won major championships with Thomas willing to fill whatever role was necessary. Eventually, he will embrace that it means him becoming a superstar.
