    Just wondering... what makes you think Thabo is gonna end up being a starter over Gordon? Gordon wont be a 6man for ever..I just dont see thabo getting those type of stats.Tyurs seems ok but I think he will get more points then that. Depending what the bulls do in the draft / trades

    Well because I see Gordon gone out of Chicago within that time. IMO we could use a trade like Gordon for Channing Frye and we would be a lot better team in the future.

    I would not trade gordon for frye. Frye is soft. I think in a few years maybe next or 2 more, that this team can use 8 players nite in and out . which will give thabo good min off the bench.

    I am REALLY starting to like Gordon. Everyone knows his problem is consistancy right? Wrong because he has been scoring 20+ points in 14 of the last 15 games. So he is really starting to pick it up. We dont need to trade him if he keeps his consistnacy at 20ppg. He is averaging about 21 ppg now too. As for the predictions, I think the tyrus thomas is pretty solid predction but Thabo sefolosha is pretty optimistic. He can score but I dont think he can get 19 points in and out consistnanly his 5th year. I think 12 points is a good avg ppg.

I really don't see him ever making the All-Star game. But, maybe I'm underrating him. I haven't seen him play enough to make the judgement call.

    I dont know, I may be overating him but this is in 2 years and with the improvements I have seen in a short spam, he just looks to me like a triple double threat on ocassions. He can easily get 10 ppg in "starters minutes" and he is excellent at rebounding as evident in some of his minutes the last 5 games or so. He already has great vision of the court and thats why I see him as getting 6-7 assists each game down the road. Thabo has alot of strengths but he needs to work on his ballhandling and reducing his poor decisions and mental lapses defensively. He can be a shut down defender if he keeps working at it.

    I see thabo getting around 12ppg most 14. Cause you gotta think like this Kirk is a 14-17 ppg playerGordon 20-25ppgDeng 17-20 ppgIF paxson makes a move for a PF I say 16-20 ppg Also if theres no trade give noc 15ppgGonna be hard for thabo get the points you think he can.. Maybe if we traded him to the bobcats or something then Yeah

    In 2 years Nocioni and Gordon both will be gone, IMO and Sefolosha will flurish. Nocioni is also 27 years old he aint as young as most people think he is, he played in Argentina for many years before coming to the NBA. We also don't need him. Luol Deng is clearly the better player and Nocioni is not a power forward no matter what others say. PJ Brown obviously gone, Malik Allen gone, Adrian Griffin gone. Those are just players I believe will not be a Bull in 2 years.

    I can see Sefolosha being a big time 20 ppg scorer, with defensive skills, but I see Tyrus Thomas pretty much like a Stromile Swift. Like 15 ppg, 8 rpg, 1 bpg, and 1 spg...real verstaile, gonna give you energy, blah blah...

    What makes you think gordon will leave? I mean hes the only guy that can score when ever he wants on this team. I dont see Gordon leaven unless we get a Superstar.. Cause really I wouldnt trade gordon for Nobody right now.

    Because he is 6'0 tall and out of position. He should be a point guard but he isn't a good enough ball handler so he plays the 2 guard. That's why he comes off the bench as well as he probably should. Unless he gets better with his point guard skills and moves over to that position I don't see Gordon being a Bull much longer especially when there is a 6'7 SG in Sefolosha waiting in the wings.

His highest average is 11.8 in his second year!http://www.nba.com/playerfile/stromile_swi...reer_stats.htmlTyrus will be much better than Swift!

    Yo phenom why are you hating on Thomas? Why do you think his numbers will go down after his 4th year in the NBA? You can't be a starting PF when you only average 12 and 10.

He is my favorite player on the Bulls. I see him really shelling out in his 6th year and beyond. I think Skiles messes up his early part of his career because of his man love for Chris Duhon and Malik Allen he refuses to put Tyrus in the game to let him get some game experience. Thats the only reason I see the early struggles. There are alot of starting players that average around 12 ppg and 10 rbpg in the NBA though..

    Gosh darn it, Phenom! I agree with everything you said about Thabo Sefolosha. He is actually my favorite player on the Bulls. I think he needs to get more playing time. Those long as arms, he has the ability to really piss of his opponent. You got to watch him or he'll rob you and then dunk in your face or do some spectacular pass. I like T~n~T too. Hell, I love both our rookies but, I just think Thabo is going to be something to scream and shout about. He reminds me of Scottie Pippen
