Player review: Jeff Adrien and Tyrus Thomas

Rufus on Fire — Tyrus Thomas The tale of a promising young prospect fluttering out like an old fluorescent light has been told far too many times.

A man that fits that description perfectly would be Tyrus Thomas, the 4th overall pick in the 2006 draft by Chicago. Thomas stuck around with the Bulls for a majority of three seasons before being traded to the Bobcats in a 2010 trade deadline deal where Charlotte gave up Flip Murray, Acie Law and a protected future first round pick. Saying t...

Charlotte ran an eight-man rotation, with DeSagana Diop receiving 27 minutes, Flip Murray with 24 and D.J. Augustin getting about 13 minutes. Ah, memories. I wouldn't expect much reversal o...

Jeff Adrien to move into Bobcats starting lineup against Bulls

Rufus on Fire — Jeff Adrien will start at power forward tonight against the Bulls, replacing Hakim Warrick, per Charlotte Bobcats PR. Warrick has been rather ineffective lately (well, most times, really). His shooting on season has fallen below 40 percent, his rebounding percentages are worse than Tyrus Thomas's and he's a very poor defender. Adrien is no Blake Griffin, but he's been a good signing so far. His rebounding percentages are some of the best on the team and he scores more efficiently than Warrick or Thomas. He also defends better than Warrick, blocks more shots and doesn't use nearly as ma...
