Tyrus Thomas -- what's the hype?
I saw the Duke and Texas games, and Thomas we fun to watch. He had some nice plays on both ends too. But I'm trying to figure out what makes him rise to the top of some people's mock drafts? Someone even mentioned liking him because he was "big".
Facts:
Thomas is listed at 6'9" 215 lbs.
Darius Miles (SF) is 6'9" 210 lbs.
Travis Outlaw (SF) is 6'9" 210 lbs.
Victor Khryapa (SF) is 6'9" 210 lbs.
Kenyon Martin (a "small" PF) is 6'9" 240 lbs.
Marvin Williams (too small for PF) is 6'9" 228 lbs.
Without speculating that Thomas is still growing, why does anyone think that TT will be more than another athletic tweener without a position in this league?
At best, I see him as the second coming of Kenyon Martin (a smaller Chris Wilcox?).
