requesting perspective on Thomas

Hey guys Im a Char fan from north of the boarder. Cats are my second fav team. I love the team make-up and how it's centered around defense. I feel the cats are a PG away from being legit contenders. The cats are basically bizzaro raptors.

That being said, Where i live, there aren't many char. games aired and i was wondering how Thomas fits in with the Cats. My fantasy team auto drafted him but i just dont know if he will get the playing time. I assume you guys prob use diaw as starting PF the spread the floor.

I already have jackson on the team because hes a guarenteed 30+ min so i dont know if thomas will get time. Are you guys expecting 25+ minutes a game from him?

What do you guys expect out of thomas statistically

if he plays 25+ minutes is he capable of something along 8ppg 7rpg 1apg 1.5 stg 2 bpg?

i realize this could go in the fantasy thread but im more interested in what the fans expect. any info is greatly appreciated. Good luck in up coming season

His numbers will be better than the ones you posted

I have pretty high expectations for tyrus. Predicting numbers I'll leave to the others, I imagine we'll trade a number of guys so they'll be irrelevant. Not tyrus though, the fo and lb value him greatly.

Last year he played about 20 min a game and put up solid numbers. Look for Diaw to spend his share of minutes at C with Tyson gone so there could be a little more playing time. If his minutes increase from 20 to 30-35 per game his numbers will be sick. Could be a double/double guy.

tyrus should play around 28mpg and average around 13.5ppg, 8rpg, 2bpg

That is exactly what I was thinking. I think those numbers are very realistic for TT, barring any injury.

With no low post game and the fact he plays like a small forward without the handles, i'd say his averages will fall around 14pg,8.6rpg,2bpg,1spg.If he could improve his footwork like Landry,he could average around 16-17ppg.Based on the fact his mpg will be around 30-33.
If he can handle playing 35mpg he could easily average a double double.
