Last February, we’d had enough of Khyri Thomas flying under the radar and being overlooked in discussions about the best defensive players in the Big East. So we produced a video compilation titled “#Khyrifense”, featuring his best defensive plays, from blocked shots to steals to on-ball defense.
Guess what? NBA draft scouts excepted, he’s still overlooked. And it still frustrates the heck out of everyone at WBR. Thomas had to share the Big East Defensive Player of the Year Award last March with Villanova’s Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges as part of the first three-way tie for a major award in league history.
