According to Eurohoops sources, Valencia’s guard Matt Thomas has agreed to a three-year contract with NBA defending champions Toronto Raptors. He will exercise his NBA opt-out clause with Valencia to join the Raptors.
Thomas, 24, was one of Valencia’s main contributors in the 2018-19 season, leading the team to the 7DAYS EuroCup trophy and the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague ticket for next season.
He posted 12.5 points and 1.7 assists in 23 EuroCup games in his rookie season in the competition.
During his two seasons in the Spanish league – he also played for Obradoiro in Spain during the 2017-18 season – Thomas managed to create a reputation as one of the greatest shooter in the old continent.
