Isaiah Thomas: No regrets about leaving early despite lockout

He sure has a lot of confidence in himself. I can't wait to see him play for the Kings.

I'm excited to see him and Jimmer play.

I haven’t seen Isaiah play too much but from everything I’ve read and seen so far he seems like he has the right attitude and talent to make it in the NBA. When all is said and done I think he may be the best number 60th pick ever in the NBA. Time will tell, but I think the Kings got real lucky to get him were they did. He should have gone a lot higher then 60. I think a lot of other teams are going to regret not taking him sooner.

I loved this

Q: Have you had a chance to talk with Jimmer?

Thomas: Yes, he’s a great guy. He’s like a shorter version of Jon Brockman. So humble and so talkative. Very polite.

The part about him being the Basketball version of Justin Bieber is good too lol!

And this

Q: Who do you pick as your teammates in a three-on-three tournament?
Thomas: Me, Jamal Crawford and Dwight Howard. Nobody would beat us.

Nobody huh?

And the all-time leader in 4pt plays

Sometimes you just need some points. Ha ha. It would definitely be fun to watch though.

Both Isaiah and Jimmer seem like really nice blokes

And from what I have seen, both Tyreke and Marcus also fit into that category.

It helps that they can also play, but I love that we have recruited guys with really strong character. JJ and DMC seem like hotheads, but I see the above players cooling things down, rather than these two causing havoc.

Success is important, of course, but I would be stoked with a happy locker room who go out there to have fun and play for each other; that would make the losses easier to take.

Now to sort out this damn lockout situation so we can see it in action!
