That's exactly right. Thompson hasn't become the shooter he was sold as this summer. It's destroyed his potential growth this season.

Why? How much was everyone raving about how TT works so hard on his game and how it's al starting to come together? All we heard coming into the season was how TT was becoming the leader of the team and he's a fring All Star just give hime time.
The dude is a bench player. Accept him for who he is. We drafted 2 bench players with the 4th pick and we tried to force them to play roles as starter that they're not best suited for.

some of you guys man........
Stop with the excuses for Tristan. It's clear as day they type of player he is. Here's a question. Why are we trying to develop Tristan offensively when we were told when he was drafted that his strength was his defense and his motor? We were told that Tristan was going to be an elite defender. Why are we trying to improve his offense when his defense isn't at a level that we were told it should be?
It's like some of you forgot that Tristan was a defense first guy. When he was drafted we all saw clear as day that he had no offensive talent at all, period.
They tried to justify the pick by saying he was going to be an elite defender and a great "human being" He was a wasted pick at #4. On draft night there was nobody waiting to her Tristans name called. Who had Tristan going #4? Did anybody really sit there and said boy we just drafted Kyrie now we need Tristan Thompson. Gosh the fact that he's on our team and he's a nice guy makes you guys so gullible. He's not that good. And what he does do well we already have a guy who's as good as it gets in the league doing it in Andy.
I mean what the fuck, we drafted Tristan and didn't even trade Andy. Now Andy when he's been healthy has outplayed Tristan hands down no questions asked. It's like the same arguement people make about the Jack signing. Why sign Jarrett Jack for 6m/yr to play backup PG if you're going to bring Dion off the bench.
Why the fuck did we draft Anthony Bennett if we drafted Tristan and we still had Andy?

Why are you so concerned TT might become a good offensive weapon? Let's stifle his offensive growth just so you look good. That sounds like a brilliant idea.
75% of the time you have to eat crow in a game thread as TT has a better than average game for a starting power forward. At some point you'll need to shut up so you don't look like a complete idiot, if that point hasn't been crossed already.
