Yea he's gotten some points, but he's not getting any rebounds and he hasn't been able to stop any of them defensively either.

That's pretty much what they say about him on the Seattle Board. I hope Ed doesn't target him in the off-season.

I just see no limits in this kids game at all and i see no cieling for him at (based on the fact he works on his came a lot) he also is very smart on and off the court, im telling you guys this kid is something special ill tell you that. And why do you think everytime he comes in the game the team seems to play better, itys because of him, and not to mention everytime an offensive shot goes up he runs near the rim thats just great fundementals and im going to go out on the limb on this one and say, in four season Thad will put numbers like this up 23 10 4.

He also scores in the low post when they need to protect the lead. Other than Lou Will driving to the basket, no one else on the team can get those easy baskets when they need them. If he grows another inch or two, we can all stop talking about finding another PF.

I'm more concerned about weight than height. Luckily, I think it's possible thad puts in 20 lbs in the next 2-3 years on that frame.

From your mouth to God's ear, dabods...althouogh Iggy's improved offensive play in the half-court is giving me a bit more hope that Iguodala could play SG...

A lot will probably depend on the move Eddie makes this summer with their cap room, but having guys being able to play multiple positions effectively is never a bad thing.

I love Thad as well, but top 25 of all time is a bit aggressive. Let's see him finish the season, hopefully perform in the playoffs, and move from there. As far as the lineups go...it's working, so why mess with it. Next season, he's the starting SF from day 1...we just have to wait a little bit for that. As far as the growth goes...the length would be wishful thinking (although Lebron supposedly grew an inch since coming into the league) but the weight is going to come...anyone who is over 20 (and especially over 30!!) knows the weight will come.
