re: Why I believe we got a steal in Chase Thomas.

So why did he fall so far? Not challenging that he could be a steal for us but legitimately curious as to why he got passed on in the draft. Was it just his 40 time or what?

Like others have said, he's a limited athlete, but he was still projected to go somewhere in the 3-5 rds (I even seen some project him going in the late 2nd round).

It's still a shock he fell out of the draft completely, but as the draft goes on, teams start drafting for measurables (see Rufus Johnson).

The dude can straight ball though, and it's pretty impressive to be a 3 year starter in a 3-4 in college and be used in so many ways. Same with Reddick (I might do a thread on him as well of things I see).

Of course I'm just a fan and don't have a trained eye. I don't wanna act like I'm doing film study.
