But the main cause of his struggles was a lack of playing time due to a crowded backcourt of Aaron Brooks, Jimmer Fredette, and Thomas himself. But he eventually set himself apart from the competition, while Brooks was dealt away and Fredette remained in his reserve role. After the All-Star break, Thomas began to put up numbers closer to his breakout rookie season (17.4 points, 5.2 assists, and 2.1 threes per game). All things remaining the same, he could end up being a sneaky draft pick at point guard next season.","date":"Thu Apr 18"},"fullName":"Isaiah Thomas","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"An electric guard armed with great quickness, Thomas impressed in his rookie season, particularly in the second half when his solid play earned him the starting point guard job in Sacramento. As a starter, Thomas displayed great promise in the fantasy game with averages of 14.8 points, 5.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 3-pointers in 31.6 minutes per game across 37 starts. Thomas' numbers made him a popular fantasy pickup last season, and he's unlikely to fly under the radar this year now that he's locked in as the starting point guard. Still, he's a potential breakout player, and his per-minute production suggests that he could improve as a sophomore.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":6.4,"playerRater15DAY":4.1,"positionRank":21}
