Tyrus Thomas, not just a jumper

November 9th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanE

It feels a little disingenuous to lead this post off with Tyrus Thomas’ disgusting leapfrog block of Rip Hamilton last night; after all, Thomas’ 19/14 game is more important for its confirmation of Thomas’ all-around development. We already know Thomas is a highlight machine. Now, rather than peppering his confused, ugily ineffective minutes with screaming feats of brilliance, Thomas’ game last night was a genuine sign of improvement. And he even hit a jump shot!

It’s just one game, but it feels like Tyrus is slowly melding the cohesion necessary for success into his game, losing no measure of excitement in the process.

And, I mean, that block. Holy shit, right?
