Ty Thomas not a serious draft candidate for Raptors?
Quote:
LSU coach John Brady is convinced the Bulls will select former Tigers power forward Tyrus Thomas with the No. 2 selection in the NBA draft June 28.
Speaking at the Southeastern Conference Spring Meeting in Destin, Fla., Brady told the Baton Rouge Advocate that he hasn’t heard from Toronto, which owns the top pick, in regard to Thomas. But Brady believes the Bulls have strong interest.
“If he’s sitting at No. 2, I think Chicago will take him,” Brady said, echoing the sentiment of many NBA observers.

Re: Ty Thomas not a serious draft candidate for Raptors?
Honestly, I really don't know what to think anymore
truth? fiction? smokescreen?
Thomas could easily fit in with our up tempo game, and he brings rebounding and shot blocking, so you never know, but the other players at the top may have more offensive upside, which might be the difference maker

Re: Ty Thomas not a serious draft candidate for Raptors?
whatever it is i think tyrus's camp realizes that they arent going first.. ove aldridge and bargani? very low chance. either way its kind of good that thomas doesnt want to come to toronto, or at least the fact that we arent playing him , since it lowers down our perespective picks to a three or four combo . gay , aldridge , adam or bargani. pending that we keep the first and what happens in the future workouts. i think most likely out of anyone adam is the darkhorse that could come and sweep everyone away . anyways thats just my fan side of adam morrison . having the first pick sure is good.

Undersized at 6'9? Thats debateable to begin with. Then you take into account his freakish length and athleticism.. and undersized is the last thing that comes to mind.

When you're a PF weighing in at 215, you're undersized.

Well, I know he was refering to his height, and weight can be added, can it not? And with his work ethic, there is absolutely no way he comes into the season weighing at 215...

Re: Ty Thomas not a serious draft candidate for Raptors?
When we have Aldridge (who can potentially play C) gift-wrapped for us, we don't take the next Kenyon Martin. Not that there's anything wrong with a healthy Martin, but we have the next Kevin Garnett and a great inside-outside combo forward in Charlie V already. I'm not saying Thomas won't be a great player - he could be - but he doesn't fit us at all and isn't the best player available.

TT is not and will not be as good as Brand or Big Ben, yeah, he will most likely be pretty good, but nothing we can have use for.
