The 35 year
old Guard
Thomas Kelley played 4 years of college basketball for the Michigan
State University. During his College career the veteran reached the NCAA Final
Four in St. Petersburg, Florida where they lost to the Duke Blue Devils. During
his 14 minutes on the court Kelley finished with 4 Points, 4 Rebounds and a
steal. After graduating he started his career in Germany afterwards he moved to
the Netherlands where he finished the season with 22.1ppg, 3.7rpg, 6.0apg and
2.1spg. With those impressive numbers he went to Israel for almost 2 years
before joining the Austrian team of Wrthersee Piraten. After his successful
years in Austria he moved to Hungary Kelley was in Hungary from 2005 until 2012
and he became a legend there winning the Champions (with Szolnoki Olaj in 2007)
and the Cup (Szolnoki Olaj 2007 and PVSK Pecs 2009). After facing financial
problems in 2 Hungarian teams during the 2011-2012 Thomas decided to move to
another country and he joined Namika Lahti as a medical replacement. During his
11 game he was on the court for more than 38 minutes per game averaging
11.5ppg, 3.6rpg, 4.4apg and 1.7spg. The team wanted to keep him but they
couldnt gain extra budget for another foreign player, so Thomas moved to
Austria and started to work out twice a day there.
At the
moment Thomas is already gaining interest for the upcoming season as he wants
to stay on the court for several more years.
