The Celtics signed Brodric Thomas to a two-way contract on Monday, shoring up their second slot along with sharpshooting wing Sam Hauser.
Here are four things to know about the 6-foot-5 guard.
Thomas went to a Division II college
In high school, Thomas played with multiple Division I prospects and received fewer minutes and less shine as a result. So Thomas ended up at Truman State University, a Division II school in Missouri.
Even at Truman, Thomas’ journey wasn’t easy — he tore a hip ligament and redshirted for a season. Then his grades slipped, and he was forced to transfer to an Iowa community college to keep playing.
