The Jazz have waived second-year wing Matt Thomas, the team announced on its website today. Thomas appeared in a total of 45 games with the Raptors and Jazz during the 2020/21 season.
Utah, having acquired Thomas from Toronto in exchange for a future second-round pick in March, chose not to guarantee his $1.78MM salary for next season.
The 26-year-old shooting guard averaged 3.1 PPG and 1.0 RPG with a .338 3PT% in 45 total games (7.2 MPG) with the Raptors and Jazz this season.
Thomas went undrafted in 2017 after spending four seasons at Iowa State. He then latched on with the Lakers’ summer league team one month later, spending the following two years overseas.
Can easily see Lakers here – Good fit but he would be smart to look elsewhere for personal reasons
Was going to say the same. He could be one of the shooters they need
So basically they just threw a second round pick in the trash
Meh. Teams do that every year when they draft random foreign guy who never even comes over.
Wisconsin boy should come home. Bucks could always use another shooter at a minimal price.
Bucks already have one in Sam Merrill.
There are several teams that can use shooting at his position, with good enough defense around him
