Ok, Im calling it, a Tyrus v Lamarcus thread just for discussion. Do you think we still made the right choice with Tyrus? Or do you think we should have kept Lamarcus?
Right now Tyrus is averaging 4.6 ppg 3.4 rpg and 1.1 bpg Right now Lamarcus is averaging 9.1 ppg 5.0 rpg and 1.2 bpg It looks as though Lamarcus may have been the better choice by those stats but I beg to differ. Right now I would say Aldridge might help us a tad bit more than Tyrus could because of his low post scoring ability and his 6'10 frame but Tyrus ever since allstar break has definitely grown up and has shown signs of becoming the player I had invisioned later on in his career. In terms of blocking shots, Tyrus is among the top 5 in blocks per 48 minutes but his offensive game is not great right now. The only reason Lamarcus is averaging more points is because he is starting and playing considerably more minutes per game than Tyrus Thomas. In the future I see Tyrus blowing by Lamarcus Aldridge because he is the more physical of the two and if he can just get stronger he will be unstoppable with a low post game. IMO Tyrus's cieling is around 20 ppg 12 rpg 3-4 bpg and 2 apg Thats about what I'd say is his Maximum potential. This is what I feel is like Aldridge's cieling. 21 ppg 10 rpg 2 bpg 3 apg Pretty close but like I said, I think Tyrus can surpass him within 2-3 years, we won't even be having this discussion after both there careers are over. But going back to the question, would you rather have Aldridge or Tyrus for the future? |

Alridge also plays a lot more than Tyrus. Ill take Tyrus' upside and athletic ability. I still like the choice we made
