He doesn't have TT's hops

BEASTMODE

Uh, Mickey has actual offensive skills.
Posted on 1/28/14 at 10:17 pm to Cap Crunch
And better at basketball.

Thomas was not this developed in his first year
Posted on 1/28/14 at 10:18 pm to Cap Crunch
Mickey skills are better n more developed than TT.

I'd almost say completely different

He's not a dinosaur

Bad comparison. Mickey is already better than Tyrus less than 20 games in. Thomas will not ever be as good as Mickey.

Tyrus was there tonight too...saw him hanging out by one of the tunnels

Thomas was literally one of the laziest, most selfish and entitled players to ever don the purple and gold. It's why he's not in the NBA today and the guy traded for him on draft day (LaMarcus Aldridge) is an All Star. Thomas did some things for LSU, but he's half the player Mickey will become. No comparison here

No comparison offensively. Tyrus had zero offensive game while at LSU. Similar defensively. I'll agree to that.

Quarterman = Garrett Temple
I wish we had a Marcus Thornton-a-like.
No way Mickey leaves after this season, right?
Who will take over JOB's beast mode for LSU next season?

They were both thin shot-blockers who got the majority of their points in sort-of garbage shot or transition situations but with a little bit of a jump shot here or there. they will naturally be compared.
Mickey is averaging more minutes than Thomas did, but per minute Thomas has more points and most other stats. He had a pretty big edge in FG% as well.
Mickey plays more minutes. Has a bit higher FT%.
Tyrus got to the line more, had a higher block %, higher STL %, lower TO %.
Biggest difference is rebounding, TT was a much better one.

This lists Tyrus has 1" taller, I'm thinking his wingspan is even larger.

He's not a malcontent so no he's not Tyrus. He's greater.

IMO all 3 have/had very similar games if not styles and Stromile and Tyrus real similar. Stromile was a known commodity coming in however and Tyrus developed as a redshirt.
And yeah that Brady team with Stromile and Jabari Smith were averaging like 99 points a game through about the first 15 games and then Brady just couldn't handle the success and throttled em back when they got deep into the SEC. They had a very gaudy record that year.
Then when they got into the game against Wisconsin in the NCAA tourney, Wisconsin was a bunch of farm boys that played very disciplined, didn't turn it over, slowed it down, LSU scored like 15 points in the first half, shot only like 10 times and never recovered. It was such a waste of a really good basketball team!
I remember when Brady was first hired (out of Samford was it?). I remember reading his quotes in the Advocate when he was introduced and he gave the obligatory nod to Pistol Pete and about how much he revered his offensive game and then in the next sentence talked about how he was a defensive coach and believed in half court basketball and I knew then LSU was in for a stretch of boring, unimaginative basketball. Turned my stomach really.
Then LSU hired someone with even less personality than John Brady...incredible!
But, back to the topic, Mickey may wind up having a better career at LSU than either of the other 2, he seems to have a great attitude and is havng a very good freshman year. Tyrus averaged 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks in 26 minutes his redshirt freshman year...also incredible!
Stromile's talent was somewhat wasted in the NBA. At one point in his career, he actually lead the league in most efficient minutes played. When Hubie Brown got back into coaching at Memphis I think, he actually played Stromile at center, I remember watching him have to cover Yao Ming one game. It was ridiculous looking.
