Is TT a bust

[dav7z]

TT so far hasn't showed nothing to earn that fat contract. DJ Whiite is playing more like a seasoned vet than TT. Forget the draft pick in addition to the fat contract. Any one think he could net us a hamburger and fries.

THOUGHTS on TT as a Bobcat long term.

He needs to get healthy before we can really say. He's had some nice games. He's had a lot more DNPs.

I agree...his injury situation makes it difficult to judge...since I did not like the trade I'm biased...but I do think in the long run it's wasted money and a wasted pick...

[dav7z]

To me the pick has more value than TT does right now.

TT had a per of 20 before he got injured, he needs to shut it down for the rest of the season, or until the playoffs, and get healthy during the off-season, I most def don't think hes a bust.

You can't deny his numbers and efficiency off the bench. He was tops on the Bobcats by a lot before the injuries on Hollinger's list. Winshares per 48, he's third behind DJ White and DJ Augustin. With White, Diaw, Tyrus, has our PF position become overcrowded?

[SWedd523]

He was playing some really good ball before the injury. Best player on the team good. Wait until he gets back healthy before we start harping on him.

[polarcat]

No, he's not. Health is the issue the past few months, not his overall game.

[ammofan]

He's not healthy.....dont call anyone a bust because they aren't healthy.

[Twan's Kin]

We do have a logjam at the Power Forward position, but TT is one player I'd keep.

[Dcarnys]

I'm not saying he's a bust. Last year he was great, this year before the injury he was great. He has all the potential in the world, if he doesn't work out 2-3 years down the road trade him to a contender who's willing to take on the contract for another big body.

I wouldn't call him a "bust", but I think he has issues that can keep him from being a consistently productive player...which could make him not worth what we owe him.

[WAM9]

I defintely wouldn't call him a bust.

He hasn't even had an opportunity to be a consistent starter so it is way to early. I have really liked what I have seen from him when he has been on the court. I am 100% for continuing to let him develop and see where he is in a year or so from now.

The best way to describe the situation.

too para-quote a modern day socrates "he is what i thought he was". i am so glad we will be playing a solid off the bench front line player 8 to 9 mil per year for the next 4 years. i would trade him at the first offer.

[Fred Williamson]

4th pick in the draft, plays in the league for 5years now, still a bench player with non-existent BBall-IQ. Yes, he is a bust. still a productive player off the bench though

but we definitely overpaid him. he isn't worth more than the MLE.

[polarcat]

Move Diaw out by draft night, let TT rest after the season, and then re-evaluate both he and DJ. We do need another weapon at the 3 or 5 that can allow Thomas to do his thing, but I'm okay with the gamble we took last year.
