Thomas was announced as a member of last year's team, but never made an appearance during the title run as a result of his summer wedding. Now, Thomas is all set to make his Carmen's Crew debut.

Thomas' addition to the team makes sense from an on-court perspective, as he gives the Buckeyes some much-needed versatility on the wing, but he's also a good fit personally, as he's played with every other former Ohio State player on the roster.

Since leaving Ohio State, Thomas has bounced around the EuroLeague, most recently playing with Panathinaikos in Athens, Greece where he won both the Greek Basketball Cup and the Greek Basketball League championship in 2019.

Thomas has averaged 9.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game throughout his EuroLeague career, averaging double-digit scoring and more than three boards per game each of his last two seasons.

With Thomas' addition, Carmen's Crew now has a 10-man roster including seven Buckeyes – Thomas, Aaron Craft, Jon Diebler, William Buford, David Lighty, Lenzelle Smith Jr., Dallas Lauderdale – along with coaches Jared Sullinger and Leon Rodgers. The team will also feature three non-Buckeyes: Columbus native Jeff Gibbs, Illinois alum Demetri McCamey and new addition Pape Malik Dime, a 6-foot-9 power forward who played his college ball at Washington.

4) Deshaun Thomas
Carmen’s Crew

The addition Ohio State fans have been waiting years for. For the first time, DeShaun Thomas will play with Carmen’s Crew, and this summer he’ll be doing so to defend their crown. The 2013 Third-Team All-American and second-round NBA draft pick spent last season playing for Rick Pitino (yes, that Rick Pitino) in Greece, where he scored 13.9 points per game as well as 4.4 rebounds. The 6-foot-7 lefty is a versatile wing who will exhaust defenders in the paint but can also keep you honest from outside. A huge pickup for Carmen’s Crew.

6) Aaron Craft
Carmen’s Crew

The heart and soul of Carmen’s Crew, Craft is playing organized basketball for the final time in the 2020 TBT Tournament. After four years with Ohio State and five years overseas, the 29-year old will hang it up and enroll in medical school at Ohio State this fall. In college, Craft was as steady as they come, scoring between 6.9 and 10 points per game each season while also dishing out 4.6 to 4.8 assists each year. The rosey-cheeked thief holds the record most steals in Big Ten history, with 337. He is also a two-time Big Ten Defensive player of the year, which makes him one of only three players to ever win the award twice (Kenny Lowe and Chris Kramer, both of Purdue, each won the award twice).
