More Isaiah Thomas Content

Seems like the new soon-to-be Husky that generates the most news is Isaiah Thomas. There is a great article here where he runs us through his daily summer routine. Most of it is dribbling, running, lifting and playing pickup against local pros and former Huskies.

He's got a nice quote here:

I'm very excited to be going to the University of Washington to play for Coach Romar. I've always wanted to be a Husky ever since high school and I'm glad that soon I'll be wearing a Washington uniform. The proximity to my home played a role in choosing Washington, but my relationship with the coaching staff and players, along with the school's reputation of academic and athletic achievement really put it over the top for me.

Isaiah Thomas Impressess at Nike Global Challenge

Nike hosted a high school versus young international players tournament at the University of Portland over the last 3 days. According to the website: "the top 40 U.S. high school basketball players take on the world's top teams in the first annual Nike Global Challenge". Isaiah Thomas not only participated, but went off, averaging 33ppg, 7 dimes, 4 rebounds and nearly 5 turnovers in three contests. He led his team in points and assists in each game and shot a very high percentage from the field (35/62, 9/25 from three) in route to being named his team's top performer in each game and making the all tournament team. This is yet another in a series of great outings for Thomas in the summer tournament schedule. Looks like Romar found a gem.

Update:
Those stats were only from bracket play. He played in two exhibition games as well, before the bracket started and did not fare as well, scoring 15.5 points per game to go along with 5 assists. Also, his team lost both games, and played much better basketball when he started to take over on offense.
