As of right now he is ?testing the waters? and will not be hiring an agent. How long that lasts is remained to be seen, as Thomas has reportedly done his homework with NBA GM's and has been informed that he is expected to be a top-5 pick in this year?s upcoming draft.</div> Source
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I wanted to see him at LSU one more year so he could improve his offensive game and still keep that lottery pick status or improve so he'd be a lock for #1.

He's just testing the waters. Though once he gets an indication of where he'll go and what team will land him, he go on and hire an agent.
I think tyrus is a great talent but i think one more year of college basketball would help him .I hope he stays in college .
His offensive game is limited. He should go back to LSU and improve in that aspect. However, I highly doubt he will go back. I hope he isn't one of those players that left too early and should've stayed.
He'll probably end up the number one pick (depending on what team wins the lottery), but I don't really see him being that big for a while. Probably a Marvin Williams type guy - not the style of game, just that he's gonna be a project. I think for a couple years he'll be like a young Stro, then (hopefully) get to be a Matrix kind of guy, but less steals - more blocks. I guess only time will tell. I think it's fine for him coming out early though, I don't think another year will change much, since he'll probably be a project anyway.
