The former Raptors Jazz outside pitcher will join the La Liga weak team. His condition is obviously quite good?

Spanish League team Fundacion CB Granada officially announced that the team has completed the signing with former NBA player Matt Thomas, who will also represent the team in La Liga games in the new season.

Thomas was born in August 1994 and is 31 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 86kg. He was the undrafted in the 2017 NBA Draft. Thomas played in La Liga for two seasons after becoming a undraft. By the summer of 2019, Thomas completed the signing with the Toronto Raptors and became an NBA player. He has since played for the Utah Jazz and the Charlotte Hornets. In the NBA regular season, Thomas played a total of 126 times, averaging 9.7 minutes per game, averaging 4 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.2 steals, 0.3 turnovers and 0.6 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 43.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.4%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80.4%. In fact, Thomas is also a very distinctive player. He can maintain a stable outside shooting percentage in the NBA. Of course, his performance in other aspects is very average, lacking more highlights, and his playing time is seriously insufficient, so his data is also relatively bleak.

By the summer of 2022, Thomas had to return to the European arena because he could not get a contract from the NBA team. In recent seasons, he has played in the Greek League and the Bundesliga. Last season he played for Bundesliga team Alba Berlin. In the Bundesliga last season, he played 25 times in total, with averaging 21.8 minutes per game, averaging 13.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.6 steals per game, and 1.7 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 47.9%, three-point shooting percentage 45.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 86.2%. In the Champions League last season, he played 21 times in total, with averaging 24.1 minutes per game, averaging 12.3 points, 2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.4 steals, 1.8 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 47.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 46.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.8%.

Thomas is also a very excellent player in the European arena, while Granada is just a team with very limited strength in the La Liga, and the team has ranked relatively low in the past few seasons. Therefore, we don’t understand why Thomas chose to join a La Liga weak team like Granada. Thomas is not too old now, and he was in good shape last season. Could it be that he can't get a contract from a higher-level team?
