Just say NO to Tyrus Thomas! Read this interview... http://draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=1336 Comes across as quite the *******. CONS OF TYRUS 1) ******* 2) short for the 4 3) doesnt take people off dribble 4) scored more than 10 pts only 1 game in tourney 5) avg only 12 pts on the season 6) poor shooter The dude is BUST! All of his hype is based on the Texas game in the tourney. Can anybody say one hit wonder?
******* or not ******* is all in the interpretation. He's 19, he's supposed to be promoting himself for a million dollar job but he doesn't seem to want to compare himself in a way that berates Aldridge. He's just a kid so I'll give you the bust possibility especially to a team that has had Griffin and Swift. But the way of the world in the NBA is that you have to take risks on kids and management should be learning something about how to discern the bust risks.
