Washington’s Isaiah Thomas' has Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry willing to assist him in preparation for the NBA draft.

"He's going into this with his eyes open," said Terry, a Franklin High School graduate and Dallas Mavericks guard, who thinks of Thomas like a family member. "He has to put in the work to get to where he wants to go, but I'm going to help him in any way I can. A lot of people are. I think this is going to work out for him."

Terry will be amid an NBA playoff run while Thomas prepares for the draft, but Terry has already devised workouts to help his "little bro" impress NBA personnel.

"If he does it and he really commits himself for the next three months, there's no doubt he's going to go in the first round," predicts Terry, whose offseason conditioning regimen is as tough as it gets in the NBA. "No question. I really can't divulge my whole plan, but it's definitely a plan similar to what I implemented when I came into the draft."
