24 pts, 8 rebs, 4 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks against the Bobcats!!!

Wow.

Anyone know where to get game highlight videos? For some reason, NBA.com doesn't show any of the Bulls summer league games.

The man is on a mission!

Tyrus keep it up!

Here's what Draft Express had to say

Tyrus Thomas, 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 3 steals, 7/13 FG, 10/15 FT

Generally, summer league free throw numbers can be taken with a grain of salt, as the officiating crews call nearly everything that is and is not a foul. This doesn’t apply to Tyrus Thomas however, as he forced the refs to call a foul by attacking the basket with reckless abandon. Watching the second year forward play, you have to wonder how many players in the NBA can match his athleticism. Unlike many players with freakish athleticism, Thomas applies his every single chance he gets. Thomas scored the bulk of his points attacking the basket off the dribble, showing great quickness in getting to the basket off the dribble. His handle still appears to be a bit mechanical, but he can apply it to the NBA playing a face the basket 4 role.

Thomas took many mid-range jumpers throughout the game with mixed success. His form looks to be slightly better from last season, though he still has a stroke that starts inside and moves outward. The ball is released to the basket with better consistency, however, and his touch has improved as a result.

In addition, Thomas’ feel for the game appears to be vastly improving as well. From the high post, he made a number of passes to cutting teammates, and he even made a very nice dish to a teammate under the hoop on a face-up drive.

Thomas continues to show promise defensively as well, especially as a player who can change the flow of the game with his shot blocking. His improved offensive game will allow him to play consistent rotation minutes with the Bulls this season, and it would not be a surprise to see him start for stretches over the course of the season. Tyrus Thomas has all-star potential, and it is almost scary to think of how good he could be if his offensive game continues to progress.

fish YEAH!

I love the sound of that report, ed. Interesting to see that his motion isn't really all that changed, but his release point is consistent, so it's making him more consistent too. I like that b/c I'm not too interested if Tyrus can shoot correctly as long as he can consistently make shots, i.e. Shawn Marion... Obviously, he was never gonna be a great shooter anyway, so as long as he can make his jumper with regularity, he will fulfill that "all-star potential" they mentioned in the recap.

tyrus tyrus tyrus

with season tickets, a low post scorer (tyrus) will make the games more pleasurable

Except it looks like Tyrus is trying to become a jump shooter.

If he gets any kind of an offense game, this team is a 60 win team.

Its kinda like a bad golf swing... If you practice enough, you can make it work. It might not be pretty, but all he has to do is make enough to not allow the players to sag off of him up high.

Definitely nice to see him kicking butt. However, just to smooth peoples expectations just a bit I want to point out that most of the guys on summer leauge rosters are non NBA players (Dleague type of guys) with each team having a couple of there top draft picks from the last 1-2 years (typically speaking).

Still I love seeing him do good.

He also didn't have the greatest game last night offensively, only 7 points on 2 of 9 shooting. However, he did still have 12 boards, 5 blocks, and 4 assists, which is pretty damn impressive.

He definitely looks like he'll be a much bigger factor this year, though his offense still might be a year away...

i think hes working on his jump shot. would u rather him be going to the basket and dropping 30-35 every game with dunks? or since its the summer league, be working on the jumper? ill take the working on the jumper.

To me TT dominating isn't like "Yeah! He'll be dominant all next season" It is just good to see bc many of the other second year players have dominated the inferior competetion. Guys like Aldridge and Gay have looked great, and I am more relieved than anything to see Tyrus do the same. He SHOULD be able to dominate these types of fringe NBA guys. I'm glad that he is.

back to back 4 assist games though? That's certainly a surprise.

I have read that TT is working on both his jumper and his low post game, so dont worry that he's trying to become a "pure shooter." Hopefully he will be bigger come october and have a low post move or two. I like the one where he spins to the base line and uses a jump hook. IF he can make that a high percentage shot he can jump high enough to get that off agst anyone.
