Strengths:
Jevon is the consummate playmaker. He is super quick with great end to end speed, terrific court vision, and a super tight handle. He changes his speeds masterfully, is equally dangerous going left as he is right, has a super low cross-over dribble, and quick bounce at the rim. He has a great feel with the ball in his hands and is very crafty scoring himself with floaters and crafty wrong footed lay-ups at the rim. Defensively, he's very active with his hands being as quick as his feet. Thomas has even developed into a consistent shot maker from the perimeter when left unchecked.
Weaknesses:
The only thing Thomas is missing is a college ready body as he is very lean, especially through his chest. He can struggle to play through contact at times and has a particularly hard-time when matched up with more powerful guards. While his jumper is also much improved he needs to continue to polish that area of his game so that he continues to make shots with regularity when not getting the same volume of attempts.
Bottom Line:
The prototypical lead guard, Thomas is always attacking the defensive but has a full arsenal of tools at his disposal as he is quick as he is clever with the confidence, poise, and toughness to be a very talented lead guard in the Big East.
