The Nets two first rounders had decent debuts Monday in Brooklyn’s Summer League opener but after a back-and-forth contest in Las Vegas, the Grizzlies prevailed, 91-84.
Thomas, who the Nets took at No. 27, finished with 17 points on 5-of-15 shooting (1-of-6 from deep) in 25 minutes off the bench. The 6’4” shooting guard, who led the NCAA in free throws last year at LSU, went to the line eight times, making six, often fearlessly.
After the game, Thomas admitted it took him a while to get into a rhythm,
“My first pro game,” said Thomas.
