Some questions regarding Thabo 

Post#1 » by Fenix » Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:00 am

I haven't seen any of the recent games because of the damn exams, so I really haven't seen this brand new Thabo everyone are talking about. I'd like to ask you if you can give me report on these things:

a.) does he looks like a natural 2? Some of you (especially Sham) claimed that Thabo is mainly a 3.
b.) does he have athleticism necessary for the 2 position? There have been some doubts about that in the past. I know he can jump, but how about his lateral quickness/first step/speed?
c.) does he show any playmaking ability a la Josh Howard? I think we need a regulary sized backcourt with Kirk (if we decide to keep him) starting at PG and defending PGs at least at the start of the games. Thabo has the size needed to be the starting SG, but does he have the playmaking ability to handle occassionally take the pressure off Hinrich?

And on a seperate note: what the hell is Boylan doing when he plays Tyrus at the 3???
