Tristan Thompson

[Sumac13]

See ball.... block ball.

He's evolving.

Reminds me of quote by Edgar Jones when he was a Cavalier:

"I didn't develop. I evolved. First, I was a defensive specialist. Then I incorporated the shot-blocking and then threw the dunking and jump-shooting into the mix. I came up with a dominating, exterminating, germinating, postulating machine.''

He really seems like one of those low IQ players, see ball get ball is a perfect phrase for him.

Moreso I think his skillset is just very limited, and he only has a couple trademark "moves"...so it's very easy to neutralize him.

 

[roozy]

Why is he such a terrible defensive rebounder? Its pathetic.

 

[dirtywax]

I hate Tristan's game.

Think that has more to do with the system. He's often out of position whereas on offense he's planted under the hoop.

 

[TitleTown]

It will be interesting to see how Tristan's game looks as the primary big coming off the bench for a couple games.

 

[MH32246]

Tristan will always bring hustle and is the ultimate teammate he usually dominates second units on the offensive glass. Having him as a back up big PF is a good change of pace compared to Love.

 

[PIP]

I just can't with this guy anymore !

 

[Walter White]

Undersized, can't guard anyone, can't finish or make a shot to save his life. But he's good at offensive boards

Gotta go. Unless he signs for 5 mil next year but I doubt that. Should I make a TT trade idea thread in the trades forum or would people be opposed? It'd become very revelant by the summer at the latest. Hopefully by this deadline but I doubt it.

 

[cavsfan08]

Anyone else sick of TT getting blocked on almost every shot at the rim? Even when he's almost by himself going up for a dunk he gets blocked.

 

[Visitor]

So many times there is a wide open man for a layup or three and Tristan never sees them. Either shoots or looks for a guard at the top of the key.

 

[roozy]

How many times can PF under the rim be blocked? He has to hold a record, I mean damn at least add a pump fake. He really has one of the lowest Bball IQ's on this team, what a waste of a pick, a complete bust.

 

[mds]

Yeah, he gets blocked at the rim SO much.

 

[chrisrich91]

Tons of problems with him. But the biggest one is definitely his lack of offensive awareness. He is a detriment to the team on that end, plain and simple.
