Re: Tyrus Thomas -- what's the hype?
Somebody mentioned Antonio McDyess, who also vaulted up to the #2 pick because of his showing in the NCAAs. He was never seen as anything less than a PF, at 6'9" and 220lbs. The Tide only lasted 2 games, but of course McDyess was incredible: 39 and 19, followed by 22 and 17 in a loss to Oklahoma State (who went to the final four - didn't they have Big Country at the time?).
So, I think McDyess is a fair comparison, particularly because of the startling athleticism.
