Deshaun Thomas, who left Ohio State with a year of eligibility remaining and
was the 58th pick in the NBA draft, by the San Antonio Spurs, will play in
France this season, he said today.

Earlier, Spanish and European basketball websites reported Thomas was close
to signing with Estudiantes Madrid, which plays in Spain’s top league, the
Liga Endesa.

But when first contacted this afternoon, Thomas said he was considering
another opportunity. While we were talking, Thomas took a call from his
agent, J.R. Hensley, and later said he had agreed to a contract to play for a
team in Paris.

Thomas was not immediately sure of the name of the team. Hensley did not
immediately return messages left on his phone.

Thomas, the Big Ten scoring leader last season, played for the Spurs’ entry
in the Las Vegas Summer League in July and averaged a team-high 12.4 points
and 5 rebounds in 28.6 minutes per game. He made 41.4 percent of his field
goal attempts, including 37.5 percent of his threes, in five games.

But the Spurs have a history of letting their draft picks, even
first-rounders, gain more seasoning overseas before signing them or trading
their negotiating rights. Barring a trade, they will retain exclusive rights
to Thomas through at least the 2014 draft.

Thomas said he and Hensley spoke with the Spurs last week about offers Thomas
had received from European teams.

“They didn’t know what they want to do with their 15 (roster) spots . . .
and I needed to make a decision,” Thomas said.

“In this business, you have to think about family (Thomas has a 17-month-old
son). I still could have gone to (training camp) and tried to make the (Spurs
’) roster, but with my son and a family to provide for, I had to look at
that. And developing a year ain’t going to hurt.

“It was kind of tough, because I wanted to make the roster. But if training
camp didn’t go well, I’d probably be in the (NBA Development) League, and
when you go in the D League, you need another part-time job.”

Despite the fact he will play overseas and not in the NBA next season, Thomas
said he does not regret giving up his final season at Ohio State. He was
philosophical, saying he puts his fate in God’s hands.

“God makes people who are very talented in this world not have things easy
in life . . . to see how tough you are. Are you willing to keep fighting and
doing what you’ve got to do?” Thomas said.

“If it takes a year to develop and get better, that’s what it takes. Some
guys hang their head down and think it’s over, but it’s not. God put me in
a great position to play overseas and develop another year and keep following
my dreams


DeShaun Thomas 這位來自俄何俄州的大三生也是馬刺第58順位選到的新秀
於今天證實了他將前往法國打球。

早些時候，西班牙和歐洲籃球聯賽都有報導說Thomas將加入西班牙的頂級聯盟Liga Endesa
的Estudiantes Madrid球隊。

今天下午他本人跟我們聊的時候說他在考慮別的選擇，聊到一半他的經紀人J.R. Hensley
打來了，講完電話他告訴我們他同意和巴黎的球隊簽約了。
Thomas還不知道隊名，他的經紀人當時沒有立刻回簡訊

Thomas是Big Ten上個賽季的得分王，於夏季聯盟代表馬刺出賽，於5場比賽中
平均上場28.6分鐘、得12.4分(全隊最高)、5籃板，41.4%的FG，3-FG則有37.5%

把新秀放洋是馬刺常常在做的事情，就算是第一輪也一樣，至少Thomas明年就可以回來了
Thomas和經紀人於上週有和馬刺制服組談過放洋的事。

Thomas:"他們還不知道要怎麼名單的第15人要怎麼解決，而我也必須做出決定，我必須
考慮到我的家人(他有17個月大的小孩)，我可以選擇加入季前訓練營爭取第15人，但為了
小孩和家人我必須想到長遠的打算，而去國外一年也沒什麼損失。

這是個很困難的決定，因為我如果選擇留下來參加訓練營，但最後沒能被青睞的話
我就只能去發展聯盟(NBDL)了，那如果是這樣我就必須再找個副業才能維生。

不管結果怎麼樣，Thomas說他對於大三棄學這件事是不後悔的，他將這個選擇訴諸於上帝

孟子有云：「天將降大任於斯人也，必先苦其心志，勞其筋骨，餓其體膚，空乏其身，行
拂亂其所為，所以動心忍性，增益其所不能。」 (意思差不多 我直接這樣打XDD)

如果我必須花一年的時間讓自己更好，那這辛苦是必須經歷的，有的人面對這樣的挫折
是低下頭想說一切都完了，但並不是這樣。上帝讓我去國外打拼一年，讓自己更強，並且
繼續追逐我的夢想。
