Shaq Thomas: An Appreciation

Even if Thomas never became the next great Bearcat baller, he was a stalwart for the last four years and deserves credit for helping Cincinnati to four-straight NCAA Tournaments.

The Career Numbers

  • 5.6 points, 11.7 per 40 minutes
  • 2.9 rebounds, 6.1 per 40 minutes
  • 0.7 steals, 1.4 per 40 minutes
  • .446/.313/.600 shooting splits

Shaq Thomas is a victim of high expectations. After scoring 28 points and eight assists per game for NIA Prep in New Jersey, he skyrocketed up the recruiting rankings, earning the four-star mantle from Rivals and Scout.
