Thomas transferred to the Hawkeyes from Southeastern Community College.  He did not set any records while at Iowa, but unofficially had to be near the top all-time in powerful dunks.  He was a crowd pleaser his senior season with his thunderous dunks.  His play actually made him Iowa’s first and only Big Ten 6th Man of the Year in 2006.  After his collegiate career ended, Thomas went overseas to continue his basketball career.  His first stop was in Switzerland with BBC Monthey, where he played from 2006-2007.  In ’07, he came back to Iowa and signed with the Iowa Energy of the NBA D-League.  He started for them for one season, but left in 2008 to Venezuela to play with Trotamundos de Carabobo.  For the 2008-2009 season he headed over to Sweden to play for the Sundsvall Dragons, where he was a starting member of their team as well, earning a spot on an All-Defensive Team.  In July 2009, Thomas played in the NBA Summer League with the Oklahoma City Thunder.  He was then drafted in the 2nd Round of the NBA D-League Draft by the Dakota Wizards.  He only played in the preseason with the Wizards, before heading to the Reno Bighorns where he is a member of their starting five today.  Thomas averaged 9.3 PPG and 7.2 RPG for the 2009-10 season. He remained with the Bighorns for the 2010-11 season and averaged 2.7 PPG as well as 3.2 RPG during the regular season. Thomas contributed 1.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game during the Bighorns playoff run. In 2011, after the NBA lockout ended, Thomas was brought into training camp by the San Antonio Spurs but was released right before the season started.
