Checking in on Thomas
Tyrus Thomas is four games into his five game summer league season for the Chicago Bulls. So, let's see how the big fella is stacking up against the (ahem) competition.
Through four games, Thomas is averaging 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2 assists and a block and a steal a game. Thomas is the team's leading rebounder and has the Bulls second highest scoring average. Thomas posted a double-double against both Charlotte (17 pts, 11 rebs) and Miami (19 pts, 12 rebs) on consecutive days.
Now, you would be hard-pressed to recognize even a handful of the names on any of the six teams rosters. Simply put, NBA summer leagues are where to put your recent draft choices and other players signed simply for the summer. The NBA summer leagues are actually treasure chests for European pro league scouts looking to fill up roster spots overseas with a ringer or two from the States.
Still, Thomas is doing exactly what the Bulls would come to expect from the LSU lottery pick.
