kshoe Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 In response to your other post, we saw how great Big Baby was this year when he lost Tyrus Thomas and the two Mitchells. LSU was not better than SLU this past season. I just don't understand why people feel the need to rip on TH. I'll go back to my original post that back in highschool everyone said he wouldn't be a good college player because he wasn't athletic enough. WRONG. Now people say he won't be a good NBA player because he isn't athletic enough. Only time will tell but I'd bet those same ones will be wrong. If David Lee can be one of the top rebounders in the league because he hustles TH can do the exact same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 With you Kshoe. I don't know if he will grab as many boards as Lee, but every NBA team could use a TH. Teams need energy guys that have some talent. I think TH fits that perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 if the point the tyler naysayers are trying to make is that tyler might not end up in the hall of fame, fine. but if anyone is seriously trying to say tyler hansborough (assuming no injury) wont contribute for an nba team. i think that is crazy. you see the likes of verejao, or bruce bowen, or even just think of that stiff playing center at utah getting huge minutes and i am amazed you dont see hansborough as at least the equal talentwise. if tyler hansborough would add 3 point range or out court ball skills to his game he would be a lottery pick and maybe be destined for springfield.

tiger72 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 All I said is that Brett Thompson should never be compared to a guy that has accomplished what Hansbrough has done. He was a top ten player and Brett is a top 100 player. Hansbrough may not be a great pro but he will make a lot of money and be on a team. all I am saying you should compare Brett to Ian instead of Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTIME Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Top 10 like top 100 is subjective. If they both make the NBA, does it really matter. Tyler will make the NBA and I believe Majerus will put Thompson in the NBA. Also, doesnt Brett have another year to improve his stock?

tiger72 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I have seen Brett play numerous times this summer and he is a nice player. He plays on a terrible AAU team and he isnt a great athlete. You might as well say that Thompson will be as good as David Lee also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I wonder how he gets in those wide open spots. I wonder if people just move out of his way for rebounds like they did for Ian. Ian was the same, he never got a real board in his entire SLU career. Hmmm V it seems most the people you think got protected are white.

VTIME Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I didn't say he would be as good as Tyler either. And David Lee is a better athlete and player than Tyler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I get tired of seeing this kind of cr*p from MU fans and SIU fans. Listen, BT doesn't need to be DL or TH to be a very successful player. If we end up landing Suggs I can't wait to hear all the MU and SIU fans whine that he wasn't very good after all, he didn't fit their system, and he was their plan B player. This stuff is getting old quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a coincidence. Let me even it out for you. Shelden Williams got protected. He always got away with hammering a guy because he was supposed to be some great defender and then he got touch fouls in his favor at the other end that helped his poor offense look way more respectable than it really was. Trajan Langdon was protected and I knew he wouldnt be able to get his shot off in the league without the refs helping. AJ Guyton, same thing.

tiger72 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I think you can ask Nashville Billiken he was at the games in Nashville. I thought Brett was by far the best player on his team and I thought the Saint Louis team they played had 4 guys as good as Brett and was a much better team. They were up 20 when I left to watch another game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
