Id have to go with Joakim. Sure he yelled at Ron Adams lol, but it seems like he will be willing to learn and has a good attitude, complete opposite of Tyrus. I think Noah can become like the force Big Ben was w/ Detroit but with more offense

	Joakim Noah
	Tyrus Thomas

	I think both will be good players but I'm going to go with my man Joakim Noah. He's a beast defensively and will get better at offense over time. Say, was Tyrus a 1st round pick?

	Yeah, Tyrus was the #4 pick in 2006, then Portland traded him to the Bulls for Aldridge, the #2. I do like both Noah and Thomas, and as long as they're on the Bulls, one will only be as good as the other because they will be playing side by side. If they both can develop better control and bulk up a little they'll be monsters down low.

	Noah has more heart and determination, Tyrus looks more and more like a waste of talent.

	Well if you look at Tyrus, he was buried in the depth chart at first. Got his suspension and sat out 2 games but towards the end he started to play good basketball. He had a few 20 point games

	Deffinetly Joakim Noah. He is a lot bigger and plays with more intensity than anybody on the Bulls. Tyrus Thomas will be good but he wont be an elite big man like Noah will because he is so small.

	Currently i have to go with Noah. But lets wait and see how Thomas rebounds under a new coach and system. No post game to speak of, forced the game to be played away from Thomas, as well as him constantly being played away from the basket . I hope the next coach and system bring out some nasty in this bunch of softies. (Noah excluded from that last remark) Even Nocioni got soft. He showed flashes of nasty, but very brief flashes. I think he needs to put on 20 lbs and get back to being the slasher he was when he came in the league. Pax, get either Carlisle, D'Antoni or Johnson in here quick, and get them in the war room. They have alot of work to do.

	I like Noah's chances better because of his effort level. These two players are so similar physically and in style of play right now. Good shot blockers, poor shooters who find ways to score around the basket, underweight to play the 4 spot. Noah is more intense and runs the floor better. Neither guy has an ounce of maturity and that will make the difference. Noah has technical flaws in his shooting motion that can be corrected. Thomas is just a jumping jack with no touch. Both are projects as everyone in the NBA can jump. I think Noah has the bigger upside.

	I went with Noah. The improvement in his game and attitude after the yelling incident showed he is maturing. His play down the stretch showed the true promise of his game. The one thing that has been shown can be improved once in the Pros is shooting. Noah brings an intensity to the game that few other players show. His college career showed that he knows what it takes to be part of a true team and to to win.
