Timothy Mark Thomas (born on February 26, 1977 in Paterson, New Jersey) is a professional basketball player in the NBA currently with the Phoenix Suns.

After spending one year at Villanova University, he was drafted seventh overall by the New Jersey Nets in the 1997 NBA Draft and immediately traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for the Sixers' draft pick Keith Van Horn. In 1999, he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. In 2004, he was traded, again in exchange for Van Horn, to the New York Knicks. On the eve of training camp in 2005, he was again traded, to the Chicago Bulls along with Michael Sweetney in a package that brought Eddy Curry to New York. Chicago then waived him in early 2006, and he ended up with Phoenix.

Widely considered by sports writers to be an inconsistent and underachieving player, at 210 cm (6 ft 10in) and 104 kg (230 lb), Thomas can play either shooting guard, small forward or power forward, spending most of his time at small forward. He has tremendous range and athelticism, and can still make an impact after coming into a game cold. His career stats are 11.9 points per game, 1.4 assists per game, and four rebounds per game.

Awards

He was on the Second NBA All-Rookie Team in 1997-1998 season. He won the The Sporting News Freshman of the Year during the 1996-1997 season.
