I know we have had some hall of fame greats come through here but this kid looks like Labron James out there.

In recent days, very likely. Forever? Nope.

I’m not sure he’s better than Simmons individually, but he’ll definitely have a much bigger impact.

Don’t forget CJ 30.2 average as a freshman.

It is an unfair comparison.

For one you need to give him time. If he maintains this pace for his career, yeah Id say so.

But he will never have the fame of shaq or pistol. And thats nothing on him, its just the amount of information since the early 90s is so far beyond then nobody will ever be as famous as people of the past.

Nobody will be as good as a freshman at LSU as Chris Jackson. You young guys really shouldn’t try to make these kinds of ridiculous statements.

Except for the 4 inches and 30 pounds yea they are the same guy. Lebron James was 6’8 240 coming out of high school.

He’s the best since Simmons, but as a scorer and the impact he can have on this team overall, he could end up being one of the best. Team could make a massive run this year.

Why do you guys try to force posters to pick apart fabulous players like Thomas? This kid is incredible and an absolute scoring machine but when you say he’s better than Pistol, CJ and Shaq or start a convo you know will have people saying that all you do is invite people to lessen how great it is to watch this kid.

At least the best since Shaq.

He is better than Simmons all round IMO. obviously shaq cj and pistol are all time greats but why couldn't this kid be as good or better?
