New Celtic Brodric Thomas looking to take advantage of opportunity

The Boston Celtics signed guard Brodric Thomas to a two way deal on Monday, a mere six days after he was waived by the Houston Rockets. Thomas told reporters that the deal came together quickly, but he is embracing the opportunity to come to Boston.

“The biggest thing is the culture and tradition and just the winning attitude,” Thomas related to the press after practicing with the team. “And I think coming here to this organization is going to be huge for me, just in a developmental aspect, just because learning from vets and things of that nature is going to be key for my progress and development.”

Thomas is a Division II product out of Truman State.

He last played with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2020-21 after a short stint with the Houston Rockets, and was keen to talk about the “huge” chip on his shoulder coming out of a small school where his name is not really known.

“I want to prove to everybody that it doesn’t really matter what division you come from. Put the work in and you’re going to be able to make a way,” Thomas said. “When an opportunity presents itself, you got to take advantage of it, regardless of your situation.”

With his signing, the Celtics have now filled both two-way roster spots.

Thomas also said his mom was a Celtics fan growing up.
