Overview
- Thomas was named to the 2026 NBA All‑Summer First Team on Tuesday after leading the Summer League in scoring with a 27.3 points per game average.
- He delivered the totals across four games in Las Vegas, scoring at least 20 points in each outing and posting back-to-back 30- and 35-point games.
- Thomas shot an efficient 50% from the field and 43.8% from three while adding 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and two steals per game in the short sample.
- Cleveland selected the 19-year-old former Arkansas guard at No. 34 in the draft and signed him to a four-year contract on July 1, giving him a clear path to compete for minutes.
- Teams will weigh these Vegas results cautiously because Summer League is a small sample, but the performance raises Thomas’s profile as a low-cost developmental scorer who could alter Cleveland’s rotation plans.
