By Adam Fluck (Bulls Blog)Thomas spoke highly of Boozer and Noah, citing the Boozer acquisition as one of the reasons he chose to join the Bulls.
“They’re both extremely talented,” said Thomas, who has posted career averages of 8.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 966 games. “Joakim is a young, talented center who is an up and coming player in this league. He’s very long, athletic and he can really run the floor. He’s improved every year he’s been in the league. It’s good to see that kind of continued growth.
“With Carlos, he’s been very solid ever since he was a rookie,” Thomas said. “You look at what he did in Cleveland and Utah, and you don’t expect anything to change. He can play inside and out. He finishes well around the basket with both his left and right hands. He has a nice 18-foot outside jumper and a good overall feel for the game. He knows how to draw the double team and kick it to the open man.”
Thomas isn’t sure how many minutes he’ll play, but he said he’ll be happy to take on as much playing time as Thibodeau hands out.
“I would love to play 20-25 minutes a game,” he said. “But whatever Coach determines is best to help the team win is fine with me. I’ve been around a long time and I still enjoy playing the game. I like being out there with my teammates trying to make a difference and win games.”
