Tall, slender, knockdown three-point shooter. That’s the identity with which coach Mark Turgeon seems to want Maryland basketball’s wings to become synonymous. He had that in Jake Layman, and now he has another long-term project in freshman forward Micah Thomas.
Thomas’s arms are impossibly long and filled with promise. His frame is a dream for the top of a zone or for cutting off slashers on their path to the bucket. He told Testudo Times he stands 6’6.5 with a 7’2 wingspan, which is longer than Layman (6’9.25), and on par with Diamond Stone (7’2.75), Robert Carter Jr.
