News: As expected, the Hornets officially signed forward Lance Thomas to a contract for the remainder of the season the team announced Monday. Thomas, who has already received two 10-day contracts, averaged 2.3 points and 3.0 rebounds for the Hornets over 11 games.
Analysis: Thomas has received some run with all the injuries New Orleans has had to deal with in their frontcourt and his strong play has earned him a contract for the rest of the season. While coach Monty Williams has been impressed with his play, unfortunately his stats aren't going to help many Fantasy owners. Continue to leave the 23-year-old on the waiver wire at this point in the season.

News: Working on his second 10-day contract of the season, Hornets forward Lance Thomas continues to provide the team with a few minutes of production per game as a backup. In nine minutes on Wednesday against Cleveland, Thomas scored two points and had four rebounds in an 89-84 Hornets victory.
Analysis: Thomas is averaging just 2.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in 11 games for the Hornets, and his status moving forward remains up in the air, as the team heads into the All-Star break. Thomas’ second 10-day contract will be up during the break, and they will have to decide whether to bring him back or not. Whether they do or not, Fantasy owners shouldn’t look in Thomas’ direction for help, as he is not worth a roster spot in most formats.
News: The Hornets announced Thursday that they signed forward Lance Thomas to a second 10-day contract.
Analysis: Thomas has appeared in seven games with New Orleans, averaging 2.0 points and 2.4 rebounds. He remains with the team because of injuries, but he is not worth adding in Fantasy.
News: With Carl Landry possibly out a few weeks, New Orleans signed F Lance Thomas to a 10-day contract, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Thomas was with the Hornets during training camp.
Analysis: Thomas will help provide depth while Landry is out. He has no real Fantasy value to speak of at this time. He can be ignored in all Fantasy leagues.
News: With news coming out that F Carl Landry has suffered a minor sprain of his left MCL after a collision on Saturday night, the Times-Picayune is reporting that the Hornets have signed F Lance Thomas to a 10-day contract.
Analysis: Thomas spent training camp and the first two games of the season with the team, playing four minutes total and scoring one point. He has spent most of the season with the NBA D-League's Austin Toros. In 19 D-League games, Thomas scored 15.2 points with 7.7 rebounds per game. Seeing as he'll likely only be with the team for a week or so and shouldn't see much playing time, don't look Thomas' way in any Fantasy format.
