Tyrus's problem is in his head, and you can't blame Skiles for not keeping him in the lineup. He just didn't get it at all. Yes he had a couple of good games, but he still looked lost for the most part, and can't figure out what the hell he's supposed to do. He's still as raw as ever. Noah knows what he's supposed to do role-wise, but he just doesn't know the plays yet, which granted I can understand. Noah's NBA-Ready, it's just a matter of him getting adjusted. Tyrus isn't NBA-Ready, and it's a matter of him understanding the overall game of basketball, and knowing what his role really is.
Until Tyrus starts to get it he won't be much of a player.
sorry, but that's just not correct.....there aren't two players that routinely develop by the same method, and as such expecting thomas to respond to the same method as noah (or anybody else on the bench) is an exercise in futility. further, isn't thomas a kid who was a guard in HS (not even playing a full four years), experienced a growth spurt, of what 5-6 inches, yet and still was recruited by a major university, sat out a large portion of the season, YET AND STILL was a MAJOR contributor on a FINAL FOUR basketball team; so much so that even after that whirlwind of progress was projected as a top 3-5 pick for the nba.....
however there's some here that believe he has no Bball IQ, poor work ethic, etc., etc. all that nonsense sounds like people who don't want to see the kid succeed. thomas appears to be a kid who catches on VERY quickly, as evidenced by his ability to impact games WHENEVER the bulls coaches put him in. mistakes he'll make, but this manchild just might be what is considered a "prodigy" in other circles.
yet, some of these basketball "experts" herein, would like to apply all the "tried and true" analogies to label the boy when all evidence of his play points otherwise.....
i could be wrong......but i doubt it.
