He is from Scotch Plains, New Jersey but was born in Brooklyn, New York.

High school career

Thomas attended Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School in Scotch Plains, New Jersey during his freshman and sophomore years.

While playing for Danny Hurley, former Seton Hall point guard and brother of former Duke point guard Bobby Hurley, at Saint Benedict's Preparatory School from 2004 to 2006, he led the school to two Prep A Division New Jersey State titles while averaging 14.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game his senior year. He was named to the 2006 McDonald's All-America team, and had nine points and two steals in the McDonald's All-American game.

Thomas later played for the gold medal winning United States Under-18 National Team in 2006.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Thomas was listed as the No. 13 small forward and the No. 42 player in the nation in 2006.[1]

High school awards and honors

  • McDonalds All-American (2006)
  • USA U18 Championship team (2006)
  • Parade All-America second team (2006)
  • Prep-School State Player of the Year by the Newark-Star Ledger (2006)[2]
  • Youth Development Festival Blue Team (2005)
  • Led high school team to two New Jersey state titles and a 56-3 record over final two seasons.


College career

2006–07 season

In his freshman year, in 31 games (18 starts), averaged 4.0 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, while shooting .568 from the field.


2007–08 season

In his sophomore year, in 32 games (28 starts), averaged 4.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game. Posted a .505 field goal percentage. Recorded at least five rebounds 12 times, including eight of Duke’s 16 ACC games.

He's Duke's energizer off the bench, banging against bigger opponents in the paint, getting offensive rebounds and sprinting down the court every possession. But it can't be denied that Thomas has been more of an offensive presence this season.

Career-High in Points, Well Deserved Standing Ovation
Lance Thomas's career-high in points came on November 28, 2008, when he scored 21 points against Duquesne. His new career high broke his previous record of 15 points set Nov. 20, 2006[3]

A career-high 21 points of 8-for-8 shooting, six rebounds, made a steal, had a block, did not commit a turnover and was simply straight the court. And that brought Thomas well deserved two times standing ovation from the Duke faithful inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.

"Best game offensively I've played in a Duke uniform. I feel like I've played better games for this team, not including having 21 points. I mean, my game is not defined by how many points I have. But if I can bring a mix of both, and it would be great." He said

Thomas' ability to finish shots has been a big staple of his improvement. If he gets the ball within three feet of the basket, chances are he's going to put the ball in the hoop — regardless of whether he's fouled.[4]

2008–09 season

Thomas feels that the biggest difference between this year's Duke team and the ones from the last two years, is experience. [5][6]

In his junior year, with 37 games (16 starts), averaged 5.3 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting .626 from the field. Scored in double figures on six occasions. Averaged 7.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, while going 7-of-8 from the field in three NCAA Tournament games.[7]

2009–10 season: Duke Blue Devils won the NCAA championship

In this senior year, Lance Thomas and All-American point guard Jon Scheyer were co-captains of Duke’s team 2010.

Career High and Injured
In January 2010, Thomas had a career-high 12 rebounds against North Carolina State University Wolfpack men's basketball team. But from this game, he was injured in the second half for bone bruise to his right knee, and missed the next game with University of Maryland. Later, he came back at the end of March.[8]


Duke Blue Devils(#3) Won the NCAA Championship 2010[9]
Co-captains Lance Thomas and Jon Scheyer were member of Duke’s NCAA team 2010. Along with teammate forward Kyle Singler, center Brian Zoubek, reserve forward Mason Plumlee, point gard Nolan Smith, power forward Ryan Kelly, forward Miles Plumlee and point gard Seth Curry with head coach Mike Krzyzewski[10] won the 4th National Championship since 1991, 1992 and 2001.[11][12]


NCAA 2010 Final Match
In the NCAA 2010 Final Match, Duke played against Butler Bulldogs men's basketball team. The sports teams of Butler University from Indianapolis, Indiana. Which no way that was going to happen against Butler, the 4,200-student private school. But with head coach Brad Stevens and with team leader, Small forward / Shooting guard Gordon Hayward led the team. Butler Bulldogs just defeated Michigan State 52–50 to the final.[13]

One of the Most Memorable Tournaments in History
It was one of the most memorable tournaments in history.[14] Kyle Singler scored 19 points Brian Zoubek rebounded and Lance Thomas guarded. The Bulldogs had a chance to win, with 3.6 seconds left. When Gordon Hayward's half-court shot at the buzzer went flying, thudded off the backboard and rim, and out and most of the crowd of 70,390 gasped, that was very close, but he missed.

That memorable Monday night Duke defeated Butler 61-59, ending with the winner of the Blue Devils. But both team played a great game and it was one of the best game in the NCAA tournament history. "We just came up a bounce short," Butler coach Brad Stevens said.[15]

In this memorable game, Thomas was on the floor after having played 35 minutes of the game, and shot 3–5 from the field.[16]


Lance Thomas made the ACC All-Defensive Team of the year

Team highs


The Blue Devils won with defense. Thomas said:

"The last 30 seconds seemed like 10 minutes. When the ball bounced off, confetti came down. I looked up at the confetti, and the next thing I know I'm on my back. Jon (Scheyer) tackled me. At that point, it hit home that we were national champions."[16]


Coach Mike Krzyzewsk talked about Lance Thomas “All of a sudden someone’s going to really like Lance, whether they draft him or bring him to camp and keep him because he’s almost 6-9, he’s got great energy. He’s really improved offensively. He’s a glue guy and he can play defense and he can defend multiple positions. I think he’s our most versatile defender. We have him guarding from centers to point guards.”[18]

He ended his career 10th on Duke's all-time list in offensive rebounds (255).[19] In his successful senior year 2009–10 season, in 40 games (39 starts), he averaged 4.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per game. And he was also voted to the 2010 ACC All-Defensive team.

Beside a Career of Basketball Player

Thomas said, "It's another side of me, a side people don't know about as much, and I kind of like that." He was found his talent early. An avid doodler, he's honed his talents and has become a meticulous sketch artist. One of his designs sits on his right biceps -- a complex tattoo of his home state of New Jersey.[57]

And for his capstone -- a thesis-type project required of all seniors -- Thomas designed custom posters for each of his senior classmates.
