Good riddance let the TL era begin
I’m looking forward to TL playing more. He’s obviously better. But I save the good riddance for players who loaf or don’t play hard. Theis made the most of his ability and he competed, consistently. Bodied and fought for rebounds against much bigger players, was crafty with those screens that made Tatum look good on drives, maximized his switch value. Hit his midrange shots and converted at the rim - a pro. Could he be overmatched by a Bam or an Embiid? Absolutely. So can a lot of centers. For a guy out of nowhere - undrafted - paid a few million a year? He was a legit NBA center and that was a lot more than I was expecting when DA got him. I appreciated watching him and I wish him well - any night he isn’t playing Boston.
