Tyrus better than expected? Options

[Pippen Aint Easy]

Who do you guys think is gonna be coming off the bench first, Viktor, or Tyrus? Who do you guys think should come out first?

It's going to be Viktor a LOT more in the beginning. Remember, he was playing in virtually every game last season for the Blazers, while Thomas was only playing 32 games for LSU. It's going to take some time for Thomas and Thabo to adjust to 82 regular season games.

Hmmm.. I seem to remember about 90% of this board angry that we didnt keep Aldridge in last years draft. What about now?

This kid has been simply amazing in the preseason games. He is averaging 10.4 ppg 4.4 rpg 1.8 bpg and 1.2 stpg. That is impressive for a "Raw" rookie just coming out of his first year from college. I know its still preseason but Tyrus is going to be playing the way he is now in the regular season and will do major damage against the other team's 2nd team. If he improves his weight this year his rebounds will come although we have Ben Wallace and PJ who will rack the majority of them. I have always liked Tyrus and now I can see him being something special in years to come. KG was even impressed with him yesterday after Tyrus dunked on him in last nights game. "This kid is gonna be something special". Take it for what its worth but I cant wait to see this kid in Halloween dunkin on SHAQ!!!!

He's definately been good but even Skiles has said how he still makes a lot of mistakes (which is to be expected). That said I love his agressive nature and you can tell he has some serious god given ability. It should be exciting watching him develop over the years. He has a very positive attitude and will be teamed up with a team full of hard/gritty/smart players who works hard plus a very hard nosed and wise coach. Basically put he has a great group of leaders/teachers around him and that should really help him progress.
