Will Thomas go down as greatest 5'9" player

[KG Living Legend]

 I'm actually really encouraged after looking at the other little guy's stats that if healthy Isiah will go down as the second best little man of all time.

 Take a look at the numbers of other guys in his weight class.

 Spudd Webb 5'7"  came into his prime at 27 years old.

 28 years old best year. 16ppg 7 asst

 His prime lasted until age 31 avg 11.6 Pts 6.2asst

 
Earl boykins 5'5" he peaked from age 27 to 30 and his best year he was 30 years old and went 15ppg 4.5 asst

 Calvin Murphy 5'9"  his prime was from 25-32 his ultimate prime was at age twenty nine when he went for 25.6  ppg 3.4 asst.

 Isaiah 5'9"  at 24yo went for 20.3 ppg 6.3 asst 34.7 mpg this year so far he's at 21 ppg 6.3 asst on only 31 mpg. He's 26 years old right now.

 I am extremely stoked to know that barring injury we have yet to see the best of Isaiah and over the next three to five years he should be awesome and peaking in around three years.

 Look forward to one of the greatest Little's of all time score thousands of points in Green.

Calvin Murphy was the greatest little man I ever saw. He went to my high school (Norwalk, CT) so I followed his career from the beginning.

Please add his name to the voting choices.

Spud was one of my all time fav NBA player. 

I would sit there glued to the TV ....watching teams I cared little for ...but waiting

For a

Spud ..."DUNK"


Thomas is a better shooter and all around player .


Spud looked like he took flight when he dunked .......more impressive than Jordon

The greatest small player I ever saw was Nate Archibald.  I just looked him up and supposedly he was 6'1" tall.  I find that hard to believe.  He must have been wearing sneakers.

IT4 has a chance, but I'm going to give some love to Muggsy.  He's listed at 5'3", 136, and averaged over 7 assists per game for his career, with a career assist-to-turnover ratio near 5:1.  He wasn't really a scorer, but he had a 13+ year career as a floor general on some good Charlotte teams in the 90s.  Top-20 all time in assists, and 94th all-time in offensive rating for a career.  And he had nearly as many steals for his career as turnovers, which is pretty amazing given how much the ball was in his hands.  Top-50 all time steal rate.

If IT can keep it up for another 7-10 years, I'll give him the nod.  But right now, it's Muggsy.

Muggsy was listed as 136lbs?  Wow, I thought he would weigh more with those tree trunk width legs.

I'd rate IT over Muggsy.

Muggsy was really only a playmaker, very focussed skill set.  He was an average or below average scorer and not much of a defender.

Thomas obviously isn't much of a defender either, but he can score (24 Pts Per 36) at an elite level and pass (7.3 assists Per 36) at a very high level as well.
