University of Washington point guard Isaiah Thomas was among six players who participated in Saturday's predraft workout for the Kings.
While Terry isn't an imposing figure at 6-foot-2, he's considerably taller than the 5-foot-9 Thomas, putting him closer in stature to Terry's teammate, José Barea, who is generously listed at 6-0.
Barea has made a big impact in helping the Mavericks reach the NBA Finals, providing offense off the bench. And as Thomas speaks with teams leading up to the NBA draft on June 23, Barea comparisons have been common.
"As of right now, a lot of teams say I can come in and be a J.J. Barea-type," Thomas said. "I feel the way I've progressed with my shooting ability, I feel like I'm more of a Damon Stoudamire type. But I love the comparisons to J.J. Barea. I see what he's doing right now, and I believe I can do that.
"You can't hand-check, so small guards with speed are taking over," he said. "Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook aren't small, but they've got speed, and it's hard to keep a guy in front of you. So I feel like I can use that to my advantage."
