Although this season was able to return to the NBA, but Thomas Jr. in the previous Lakers, Lone Rangers, have not been able to get a formal NBA contract, after the expiration of the 10-day short contract, Thomas Jr. can only continue to look for the owner, after only playing 1 game for the Lone Ranger because of the trigger health and safety agreement was isolated, Thomas Jr. returned to the golden team of the development league to continue to "reduce the dimensionality of the blow", continue to hand over 40+ horror output, fortunately, his efforts were not in vain, The Hornets, who were desperately short of manpower at the backcourt, took Thomas Jr. to Charlotte on a 10-day contract, and this is the third team Thomas Jr. has joined this season.
The first game officially put on the Hornets jersey was against his old club Cavaliers, that game Thomas Jr. did not badly, in the 14 minutes of playing time, 11 shots 4, 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals of the all-around stats, and then Thomas Jr. faced the Pelicans, another team he had played for, and once again won the proof for himself, in that game, in the 16 minutes of playing time, 8 of 5 (4 of 6 from three-pointers), easily scored 14 points, Helped the Hornets end their previous two-game losing streak. It was also from this game that Thomas Jr. let the Hornets never lose again, counting today's 3-point victory against the Pelican Hornets, in the last 5 games, the Hornets have achieved a wave of 5 consecutive wins.
Because thomas jr. won buff, coupled with his own performance is not bad, Jordan also offered Thomas Jr. a formal contract earlier, will sign him until the end of the season, for the Hornets in these 7 games, Thomas Jr. in 13.4 minutes of playing time, can efficiently cut 9.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2 assists, three shooting rates as high as 46.2%, 48% and 100%, respectively, can be said to be the most efficient performance of the three teams he played for this season.
In the five-game winning streak that helped the Hornets, Thomas Jr. scored two points in addition to only 8 minutes of playing time against the Hawks on March 17, and the remaining 4 games had double-digit output, which can be said to be the main offensive point on the Hornets bench.
In fact, joining the Hornets, a team that advocates offense, for Thomas Jr., he really found a suitable place, he is only 1 meter 76 tall, he is a big black hole in the defensive end, so if you want to go to those top teams that pay attention to defense, Thomas Jr. may not get a stable playing time, let alone an excellent performance on the field, but the Hornets can be said to be the league's famous "attack strong and weak defense" this season. The team (defensive efficiency of 112.4 is only 23rd in the league, but the offensive efficiency is seventh in the league with 112.8), so as long as Thomas Jr. can play on the offensive end, he can be appreciated by coach Borrego.
As of now, the Hornets are temporarily in the ninth place in the East with a record of 37 wins and 35 losses, and there is a 4-win difference from the sixth Cavaliers, but considering that the Nets and Raptors in front of them are eyeing the top six positions, the Hornets are most likely unable to get this direct seat into the playoffs, but entering the playoffs should still be very promising. After all, they are as many as 6.5 wins ahead of the 11th Wizards, and now that they have Thomas Jr. to win the buff, as long as there is no large-scale injury wave, Thomas Jr. has a good chance to follow the team to the playoffs to help the Hornets win a playoff ticket.
