So I guess judging him against starters is unfair since he is a bench player on this team... So I get that. I loved Thad when he was a sixer but he just never quite established himself at anything. No matter what they did with him, there was a flaw to his game.

My thought process is offensively he cannot play the 3 and defensively he cannot play the 4.

Great person, great attitude. Just imo his game is very limited.

Edit: I will admit however I did not see much of him this year where you mentioned was his best year

He is not a bench player. He started all 73 games this year.

e: or by "this team" did you mean the d2jsp team he was selected for?

I understand where you're coming from man. He's a bit of a tweener and that limits him both offensively and defensively in some ways, however, I think he's alright at the 4. Creates a bit of a mismatch for whoever is trying to D him up with his speed and quickness.

Offensively he's okay at the 4. Especially against a small ball style 4 similar to himself. But he has struggled heavily against legit 4s.

Like I said, I adjusted my original statement to as a guy off the bench he's not a bad option because you can play him situational vs if he was your only option at 4 he would get beat a lot.

I think we're on similar pages though.
