Tyson's offense is that bad. He had a decent, and barely decent at that matter, 12ft jump shot. He has zero go to moves in the post. He gets most of his points off dunks and put backs. That's about it. And babybulls, I have a thought for you. No one ever said he had to lift a lot. No one. But at least go to the gym with a trainer and develop an offensive game. Shooting drills aren't going to hurt you. Working on low post moves against a trainer isn't going to hurt you. Beyond that, he KNEW he was going to get paid. The Bulls had full intentions on it, it was just a matter of how much. That's crap excuse to not do anything. I realized it a long time ago that he was lazy. Even in the offseasons when he wasn't getting an extension he didn't do anything. Why do you think he's still a twig. He's barely put any muscle or weight on since coming into the league. To say the least, he's a bum that gets by because he's long and athletic. He's got decent instincts on defense and is a good weak side defender, but that's the extent of his usefullness.

To be blunt, the guy has done nothing over the past 5 years to improve his game. His jumpshot stinks, hes still as weak as he was when he entered the league,His freethrow whooting sucks. Bottom line is that hes Lazy and unmotivated. Some guys are in the NBA just for a paycheck. Some people are there to be the best that they can be.
I agree that his offense is bad but its potential is there, hence "shades of a fadaway jumper". Give him time. He is only 23 and he is starting to pick up his work ethic obviously. I do agree with you Moo though that he didn't bulk up much but there is still a noticeable difference from when he joined to now. He has put on some weight and muscle just to a lesser extent. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">To say the least, he's a bum that gets by because he's long and athletic.

Have you guys seen him play? Unmotivated? Bum? Lazy? He plays with great hustle and heart every game. He is also a very underrated defender. I won't name off things to a great extent but just look at the playoffs. Any Bulls fan will tell you that he was doing a superb job on defense in games 3 and 4. It was truly amazing how good he was doing especially by drawing the fouls on Shaq.
