Tyrus Thomas Is The Bulls Starting Power Forward, Just Ask Him
In case you didn’t notice, the Bulls drafted two power forwards in the draft last week. A lot of questions arose about the Bulls faith in Tyrus. Do they feel Tyrus isn’t good enough to start? Are they preparing to move him? Or did they just take the best available players (in their minds at least)? Well Tyrus doesn’t seem all that concerned, as he stated in his Mouthpiece Sports blog yesterday:
The draft! I keep getting the question “what’s up with the two forwards?” Let me say this, I’m the starting power forward and I don’t plan on playing anywhere but Chicago. Some may say I’m arrogant, or full of myself, some may even say I’m crazy! I’m just giving yall the truth.
So there you have it. A guy like Tyrus clearly has the upside to be a great or at least very good player in this league. He has shown some flashes, but his on court IQ and heart for the game are glaring holes in any aspirations the Bulls and even Tyrus may have for himself. We all want Tyrus to be the starter, I think we would just rather have him actually work for it and try to improve the weaknesses in his game, instead of declaring himself the starter on his blog and continuing to shoot 18 foot jumpers and not get back in transition.
