Kemba Walker is carrying his team granted they're the worst team in the league but he's a better player than TT right now. As for Kwahi I'd put him over TT because he can guard more positions just as good and he's miles ahead offensively than TT.

Carrying the team. HOw the hell does one carry a team that is the worst in the league? Carrying them to what?

All of this is just wrong. Did you happen to miss that stretch of games where TT was practically averaging a double double and leading the team in rebounds after Andy was injured? TT has different strengths than the players you described, he's physical, he's ambidextrous, he has much more upside than nearly all of those players.

Why are you even having this conversation in a game thread, Los216? Start a new thread in Around the NBA if you really care that much.

Yet Tristan is still putting up similar numbers to him, despite being so raw. what does that tell you about Tristan moving forward? We know he has a crazy work ethic and he has proven that he can develop a somewhat functional offensive game in a very limited period of time, so how can you not see the insane upside this kid has? Out of all the players you mentioned Tristan is probably the rawest still but nevertheless is he up there with much more polished players when it comes strictly to numbers. I fully believe that he can average 17 & 11 on 50-55% shooting And that is more than enough to be a starting PF in this league. I see Faried's numbers being substantially smaller than that going forward.

Rounded up or down accordingly:

TT is averaging 10/8
Kanter: 6/4
Knight 13/3
Walker 15/4
Kwahi 9/5
Klay 14/3
Nik V 9/8
Faried 11/9

Los, just give it up man. Go get a ratty hotel room with Rchfield so you two can cry in each others arms about how average Tristan is while he's playing games like the one he had tonight.

Listen to what he just said and key in on the word UPSIDE!

you cant put Kanter and Kyrie on that list both were already drafted.
Kemba is redundant. you already had drafted irving.
Knight... see kemba
klay Faried and Vucevic were drafted 16 and 22. Vuce was a three year college player. Faried was a three year college player. Klay was a three year college player.

Their not a step above in talent from Tristan Thompson at all and he has more upside going forward.

kawhi was draft 15th and played 2 seasons of college.

none of these guys have demonstrated having any more value to winning than Tristan has and all of them actually have plays designed for them to which tristant does not.

No matter if it was only 3 points or 25 points...a win is a win! Fuck yeah! Kyrie with a double double! Great win over all!
