Listed at 6'3 210 and a 6'10 wingspan. Big compact built defensive combo guard who can shoot and create some. Has been a 47-50% FG shooter and 38-41% 3pt shooter all 3 yrs so far making him pretty efficient. Upped his FT% from 67-82% as well. He is a junior and will be 22 at the time of the draft and plays for Creighton so these things may drop him to the end of the first or 2nd round where we could target him by packaging the 2nds. He also isn't a pure PG and needs more development in that area. He also isn't an explosive player. But he looks smooth and in control with a great frame and length. Why I feel his game would translate well in the NBA. What I like about him most though is he is a defense first guard. So when you tally up. He is a 6'3 210 6'10 wingspan combo guard. Who shoots the ball efficiently at 50% and 40% from 3 in college due to good shot selection and playing under control. Who has the size and length to play position less bball. His weaknesses which he could possibly improve on in terms of being a PG works great with Frank. He fits the vision many of us would like the Knicks to pursue. Collecting player like this across the board offering length, defensive and position flexibility, shooting and play making. Don't know anything about his character yet though. A good summary from https://www.nbadraftjunkies.com/khyri-thomas Kyhri Thomas entered his junior year as borderline NBA draft prospect at best. So far early this season he's looking like he'll follow in the footsteps of fellow Creighton Blue Jay and Omaha native, Justin Patton to the NBA. Despite being named Big East Co-Defensive player of the year last season, coaches only voted him preseason Honorable Mention for the 2017-18 season. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

He's actually a guy to consider in the mid first round. These avery Bradley types don't grow on trees.
