Judging strictly by percentage, Isaiah Thomas doesn't qualify as one of the NBA's elite outside shooters. His career 3-point percentage (36.2) is good but not great, and he was right around that number again last season. But whenever judging Thomas, it's important to remember that he's 5-foot-9, downright tiny by professional basketball standards. He doesn't have the benefit of shooting over defenders like Dirk Nowitzki, and nobody sags off Thomas because, especially given his role in Boston's offense, that would be an unforgivable mistake.

In other words, Thomas might be a better shooter than his pure numbers indicate. Even if he's not, the Seattle Seahawks enjoyed watching Thomas shoot the lights out Wednesday.

Based on what I can deduce from Twitter, the Seahawks hosted Thomas for a visit Wednesday afternoon. While with the NFL team, he participated in a shooting contest against wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who apparently beat all his teammates for the right to play Thomas. Not surprisingly, Thomas beat Lockett, dazzling the Seahawks with a perfect 12-for-12 showing.

Though one of the jumpers technically fell after the buzzer, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll counted all the buckets, later tweeting that Thomas had the best showing in team shootout history. It's easy to see the football players enjoyed the display.
