Tyrus Thomas Working on Midrange

Sumer is a time when NBA players can relax, work on their tans, vacation, try out for team, or work on upping their game. Tyrus Thomas, the Chicago Bulls sophomore power forward, is working on improving his offensive capabilities by shooting midrange jump shots nearly every day. Thomas already possesses the ability to drive to the hoop and finish in style, but he will need to develop a jump shot if he expects to get more playing time this season. Last year Thomas was used as a backup for P.J. Brown, who will most likely retire or go to another team before the start of this next season.

Said coach Scott Skiles, “Whether or not his role increases next season is going to depend on if he can operate on the top-flight players the way he can against second-unit guys. He had a lot of blowout minutes last season.”

Tyrus Thomas definitely does not lack for some awe-inspiring feats of athleticism, but if he were to have a more complete game, he might be a starter for the Bulls, even a star in the NBA. Here’s hoping that Tyrus can get that 15-footer down this summer. If he does, you’ll get to see him make those shots by going to StubHub.com to get Chicago Bulls tickets.
