6'6" Adonis Thomas Dominates Vegas (Class of 2011 - Memphis Magic)

[DW16265]

He has goos handles and footwork. But this guy needs to work on his jumper

[Axshoun23]

Memphis Bound .

[xxshadgutsxx]

Yeah, well just wait til Adonis learns to go to his left.

[1AnOnLyMrBuCkEtZ09]

Adonis!!!!!!!!!! Imma be at every Melrose game. This yo year now . Bring state back to the Mound like last year .

[mtiger25]

Anywhere but Memphis would be a waste of time. UT takes too long to develop players, and so does UCLA. Arkansas has no historyh of developing talent under there new coaching staff. He is a great kid above all any school would be lucky to have a kid of this caliber.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 So ACC schools he wouldn't develop? though tbh he's not enough of a basketball player to be on their radar

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo The ACC does not develop players fast enough. Too much stiff competion and over-rated coaching. Yes I do mean Roy Williams. Duke takes away from some players' natural game. Memphis is the place for him we play to his strengths. Give us 2 more years and we will beat the breaks off of any ACC school. Watch what we do to Miami this year.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 are you serious? the ACC has put out more accomplished AND overall pros than any other conference in collegiate basketball.

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo Yeah recently it has been a lot of role players and under-achievers.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 Adonis shouldn't be a one and done player.. he has a lot of basketball to work on physically he's there but his game needs all sorts of polish. kid is an athlete not a bball player.

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo Oh I agree with you. He is further along than you think especially defensively, but yes he has a lot of work to do. Right now he is a Rodney Carney type of player a (Run, Jump, and Dunk guy.) If he improves on his handle, mid-range jumper, and posting up he will be fine and he can do all of these things in Memphis. He is not one and done, but he does not have to stay 4 years. If he was to go to the wrong school that could happen.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 Oh yea.. i'm Honest as i can be He's would be looked over in a NC school if he was to go to the ACC it would be G tech, Fl state or Maryland. Also Texas Does well with his type of players.

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo I hate to say it, but Fuck NC. They ain't shit. They can get any player they want every year and they and pick them and still have horrible seasons like last year. Plus NC has a player from Memphis (Leslie McDonald) that is no where near as talented as Adonis. Trust me the kid is better than you think and he will be the go to go this year at Melrose and he will improve. Texas over recruits just like NC both of them are suffering from lack of identity.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 Seriously? NC from HS and College Consitantly Puts out the best players.. whether they delop right away (chris paul, Vince arter, etc,) or Later int heir career (JJ hickson, Shane Battier) so that's a really unfounded comment.

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo Yeah They did now they don't. I want you to remember every player that you put up was an All American coming out of high school. WIth Vince and Battier they actually did develop into players that they may not have been had they went to other schools. Most of the other players were going to be what they were regardless. Not to mention all of the players that would have been better had they not went to NC or Duke. NC recruited over them or Duke limited they games.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 i'm sorry but that's BS.

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo The next players to look at will be JT at Wake and the shooting guard that is going to NC I can't think of his name right now. If they don't develop then NC as a state is slippin on their player development

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 JT got shafted out of an all american spot last year. they kid can drop 30 a game easy. Wake forest is a Up and down school you either go big (duncan) or become obscure even with major talent (josh howard)But he's planning to stay all four years due to him being in their Pre-med program. so we will see.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 an Lorenzo Brown is who you are talking about.. 5 years of high school he and ready to come to state (finally) Even though Ryan and CJ are rated higher than him right now i believe he's gonna be the best pro out of all of them. even though he's not gonna start right away he Definitely will be a starter by the end of the year.

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo I was going to say something about NC State but that is not who I am talking about. The number 1 rated shooting guard that is going to NC with Harrison Barnes. NC State has some good talent they should do somethings this year, but if they don't it will only make my point. But I like Sidney Lowe and CJ Leslie so I hope they do well.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

@mtiger25 Yea Harrison Barnes is a SF. He Grew Two inches and is 6'8" now. and Barnes is gonna be a Great Pro. UNC or No UNC.

[mtiger25]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo Yeah recently it has been a lot of role players and under-achievers. Not downing the ACC, but it I would never tell a player with one and done potential to go to an ACC or Big East too much competition.

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

{physically dude is ready.. but game wise he needs polish.

[radio213]

@GeniusesneedLOVEtoo i agree, thats what college is for tho

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

That nigga reminds me of shawn marion so much.

[IceBalla76]

tha only thing good about this guy is his height

[topdog75218]

[rc2112dmp]

[xXSavageJayXx]

[blackbot3000]

@xXSavageJayXx Nah, not yet, he goes right all the time.

[dyneal]

@xXSavageJayXx dumbass. not even close

[d4own4]

@xXSavageJayXx

which NBA are you thinking about? 

[xXSavageJayXx]

@d4own4 do u thing austin rivers is ready for the nba

[d4own4]

@xXSavageJayXx

austin rivers is more ready for the NBA then Adonis Thomas.. and btw Austin rivers has a father that is the main coach of the boston celtics... so i would say rivers is much more ready than thomas

[mikeyj213]

better go to kentucky

[biga1823]
