Drop Tyrus Thomas?
Is it time? He has been HORRIBLE offensively and this its costing him time on the court! Should I hold onto the hope that he turns it around? So help please!

I just dropped him for Thaddius Young. All that potential but none to show for it!! I should have traded him after the first game hahahaha!!!

I say wait at least a week. He's going through an awful spell, but as soon as he gets his head right, the minutes will be there.

The game i watched was probably the worst to judge off Vs Boston. But he had wide open looks and he wasnt shying away from taking the shots (which is ok i guess). He got very frustrated after that and when he took it to the whole he forced up horrible shots around the rim, his finishing looked very poor I must say. I hope he gets it together cos at the moment im not sold.

Re: Drop Tyrus Thomas?
Tyrus is catching the ball in the high post, and looking to take the jumper if he's given room. No hesitation, just puts it up. He and/or the coaching staff must've decided that if he's ever going to develop a face-up game, he's going to have to nail that 12-15 footer with consistency. That's good in theory, except his shot is clearly awful at this point, so he's hurting the team and his own stats by taking every jumper the defense gives him.

I would drop thomas for west, wright, daniels, or outlaw
I think he and bargnani are equally risky plays right now
jason thompson doesn't thrill me, especially with the return of brad miller
ben wallace had one board and nothing else last night

Re: Drop Tyrus Thomas?
At this point, the only reason I haven't dropped him is that I couldn't take the pain of watching him blow up for another squad. I bet Pax feels the same way.

Re: Drop Tyrus Thomas?

Re: Drop Tyrus Thomas?
Wright will get those blocks for you. And he will put up good FG%
Even in limited minutes blocks from Wright has been consistent.
