Thomas was a better shooter in that he would have great games where he couldn't miss. He actually had one of those games against MU. But he also had games where he couldn't make anything and he just forced them up. By the time he was a senior, ND fans were ready to see him go b/c of they were so frustrated by his play. DJ is not close to that, but you see hints of it from time to time. I don't think he forced anything yesterday and he played very well. One other thing, Thomas was not interested in playing any defense, another reason why comparison to DJ is not fair to James.
Agreed. I would take DJ 1000 times over Thomas. I was simply reffering to the the Frosh. hype, and then performance after.
I still think DJ is dynamite, but he might not be the second coming that everybody thought last year.
Chris Thomas was the next Jason Kidd... then he seemed to "fall off"... He was still very good... it's just that he didn't meet the lofty predictions of some media and fans.
