Iowa State has seen some incredible basketball players in its history. Gary Thompson, Jeff Grayer, Fred Hoiberg, Marcus Fizer, Aaron Agnew, and many more have all left their mark on Cyclone hoops throughout the years. None of them have been able to match Matt Thomas on the incredibleness scale.
For those of you who haven’t followed the Iceman’s career, I’ll briefly fill you in. Thomas was a consensus top 100 player as a high school senior. He chose Iowa State over Virginia and his home state school, Wisconsin. After two years of playing alongside and behind guys like Monte Morris, Naz Long, DeAndre Kane, and Bryce Dejean-Jones, Thomas finally got his chance to step into the spotlight in 2015-16 as a junior.
