I don’t even care if Joe Thomas is picked second by Detroit, fifth by Arizona or later this spring by the Milwaukee Bucks, who could use an athletic 6-foot-6 bruiser to give someone the business under the boards.
The only thing that seems important at the moment regarding the magnificent future of Joe Thomas – who one day just might be judged as the greatest professional player ever from the University of Wisconsin – is that Eric and Sally Thomas of Brookfield did some kind of job raising their son.
