I honestly would have kept tyrus over Taj Gibson only because Gibson has been injury prone every year with his ankles. Thomas had a lot of upside just needed a coach with patience to work with.
I'm an LSU fan, so I had the privilege of watching him since way back in the day, culminating when led his team to the Final Four in '06. Obviously his athleticism was his biggest asset and he had skills as a basketball player. But his talent never really matured. He had is moments, like in this ght' and he'd have a solid performance here and there, but never at consistent level. I know he worked hard, so I'm not sure why his talent was never maximized.
Man if only he developed a solid mid range jumper or a post game period. He was fun to watch but even as a kid I knew that he couldn't run, block and dunk forever. He was fun to watch before his athleticism gave up on him and he found himself out of the league.
Tyrus was the only guy I've seen block Lebron's shot with ease. He had such freaky athleticism. In terms of just raw athletic ability (not talent or skill) he's probably a lesser version of Giannis.
