Forward Adrian Thomas has had an interesting first eight games with the Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix, providing a huge spark from 3-point range and, then a stretch of quiet games, then ... back to top form.
Let's take a quick look:
*Nov. 3 against Miyazaki -- 25 points, 7-for-14 3s (win)
*Nov. 4 against Miyazaki -- 41 points, 13-for-25 3s (win)
*Nov. 9 against Kyoto -- 16 points, 3-for-9 3s (loss)
*Nov. 10 against Kyoto -- 7 points, 1-for-6 3s (loss)
*Nov. 16 against Takamatsu -- 9 points, 3-for-7 3s (win)
*Nov. 17 against Takamatsu -- 6 points, 2-for-4 3s (loss)
*Nov. 24 against Shiga -- 12 points, 3-for-11 3s (loss)
*Nov. 25 against Shiga -- 23 points, 7-for-10 3s (win)
In short, the Phoenix become a more dangerous club when Thomas, a University of Miami (Florida) product, scores 20 or more points. Limiting his shots from the outside appears to be a solid strategy for opponents, too.
