Sooner or later, it was bound to come up.
Former Washington star Isaiah Thomas and current Huskies guard David Crisp have a lot in common. They’re both undersized guards from Tacoma who each played point guard for UW. As expected, their paths have crossed several times. They’ll meet again Saturday when Thomas has his number retired during UW’s game against Colorado at the Alaska Airlines Arena.
Crisp sees Thomas for being more than a star player. He views him as a role model for any kid from Tacoma.
“It was huge,” Crisp said of watching Thomas as a child.
