Re: Ty Thomas not a serious draft candidate for Raptors?

I'll say it again.

He has the skillset of a centre and the body of a small forward.

He is so athletic that he is a legit NBA prospect. But he is absolutely a PROJECT for the NBA. A rich man's Jerome WIlliams?

The big thing for me is that he showed up for the NCAAs. He was up and down having big games when it's most necessary. I think more people will be convinced when he has his open workout for teams today, according to the Oregonian (it's in the notes section on the second page).

His offense needs work, that's for sure. He should be shooting thousands of jumpers per day until he extends his range. That said, he can step in on the defensive end and cure some of what ails the Raptors (no D in general and rebounding in particular).

Re: Ty Thomas not a serious draft candidate for Raptors?

I read on the Bulls forum a quote from Thomas that said this past season at LSU was his first time playing the 4 spot....he said he has always been a wing player.

That is also where he sees himself playing at the NBA level....I didn't want this guy when I thought he was a 4, I sure as hell don't want him now if he thinks he is a 3.

Just say no to Ty Thomas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not have him play PG for us? *only half kidding*
If we go with a big lineup, we'd go REAL big.
