Thomas has signed a one-year deal with FC Barcelona in Spain, Sportando reports. |
Thomas was drafted by the Spurs with the 58th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and spent last season playing overseas as well. While every player whose draft rights are held by the Spurs are interesting due to the fact that the Spurs like them, Thomas' prospects for fantasy are distant at this point. Even if he was to return to play for the Spurs in a year or two, it's hard to see him ever carving out a sizable role, making his potential dynasty value tepid at best. |

DeShaun Thomas has agreed to a contract to play for a team in Paris. |
Thomas was expected to sign El Estudiantes in Spain, but unexpectedly changed his mind. Thomas, who was the 58th pick in June's draft, had a productive summer league but would've had difficulty cracking the Spurs' rotation. This way Thomas will gain experience while the Spurs retain his NBA rights. |

| Thu Aug 15 2013 | 09:02 | DeShaun Thomas close to playing overseas |
DeShaun Thomas is close to coming a deal with El Estudiantes in Spain. |
He was productive in summer league with 12.4 points and 5.0 boards in Las Vegas, but the Spurs have quite a bit of depth. Thomas was the 58th pick in the draft and would probably be better off getting extra playing time. The Buckeye could make his way to the NBA eventually, but it doesn't appear it will be this season. |
