Tristan Thompson

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Rchfld's criticism has taken it's final toll on Tristan :chuckles:. The midrange shot he flashed early in the season has disappeared along with the rest of his limited offensive game.

I think he caught whatever's ailing Bennett.
 
Tristan Thompson or Brooks Thompson ?????
 
the saddest thing I ever seen was people saying they wouldn't trade Thompson this off-season in a package for Love or Aldridge... and it was a lot more than just a few people... fucking crazy.. Tristan's ceiling is pretty limited IMO... he is a hard worker but is an energy guy not an All-Star .. he is a nice guy to have on your team but will he ever be as good as say an Al Hortford?
 
I think we might need to give him a look at center again. It isn't like andy or andrew are providing invaluable low post defense

In fact I sort of expected him to get burn there with bennett at the 4 because I figured we would try to keep andys minutes down and andrew would be a question mark.

He tried to play outside his game and he decided to do it against the defending world champions.

Bad combination.
 
Thompson can't play with Bynum. End of story. We better whip Bennett's fat ass into shape quick or you'll be looking at Earl fucking Clark starting at the 4.
 
TT will probably be traded at some point if Brown loves Bynum so much as said. Brown drafted Bennett with a "Bynum" in mind imo.

Can't play with Andy either.

It's beginning to look like he either has to be a center or he is pretty much useless to this team.

His best stretch of his career was the 2nd half of last year when AV went down. He didn't have to deal with a center taking up the space he wants to be in.

Explains why he can't play with Bynum either.

That's the problem. Tristan Thompson can't play with a center because he plays like a center. He's a center in a power forwards body. If he won't even try to shoot a jumper his long term ability to start is questionable at best.

This has always been the issue with Tristan and why a lot of people were upset when he was drafted. It is extremely difficult to pair Tristan with a center that the team can be successful with. Off the top of my head Spencer Hawes is the only center I can think of that would be in ideal match for Thompson.
 
I like Tristan as a guy to take Andy's role when he is done. Always have. I never figured he could be a starting 4 on a good team. If we want to be a good team, it's time to get him out. We have enough ball stoppers on offense.
 
Thompson has slowly gotten worse as the season progresses. If he can't hit that jumper I'm much more concerned about Thompsons long term value then a guy like Waiters

Chris Grant has been trolling us then as he's been drafting back-ups the past 3 years.

We have our 6th man super sub in Dion, our back-up PF in Bennett, and our back-up center in TT (with Zeller being a 15th man).

When do we start drafting starters is what I want to know?
