Thomas on why he chose LSU

Why did Thomas choose LSU?

“The relationship that was built with the coaches and how on the visit I immediately felt like I was family!”

He has a message for Tigers fans.

“They are getting someone who is a winner and works hard and gives 100%.”

On3’s Jamie Shaw evaluated Thomas at USA Basketball in April and wrote the following about him:

Kevin Thomas is a twitchy athlete and was at his best getting downhill in transition. He showed some flashes in the half-court, but will need to continue working on making plays off movement. He has upside as a defender with some intriguing long-term traits to work with.
