Kenny Thomas = Clarence Weatherspoon?
It's a comparison that sprouts up all over t he place, you talk to a Sixers fan who's not enthused with K9's play this season brings up the name Clarence Weatherspoon. And while Clarence Weatherspoon might have put up solid career numbers, the comparison isn't a positive, Spoon carries the stigma of a players who's production wasn't conductive to winning.
Much like the Spoon, Kenny Thomas is an undersized power forward and very much like Clarence, Kenny averaged a double double in his second full season in Philly. Both were at their best on offense in the lowpost, and now a label that has been stuck to Kenny, is one that adhered to Spoon, is that if he's an integral part of your team you won't be very successful.
Is it a fair comparison? Or do people think Kenny can eventually make an impact on this year's team, and prove doubters wrong?
I had one feeling in the offseason, and now I'm starting to feel completely different, while K9 brings some positives to the game he's not a good defender, he's not a good perimeter shooter and he's simply a bad fit in the Sixers offensive scheme. He'd be a perfect player to bring off the bench, but I think with him as a starter, you can only go so far.
