Thabo Sefolosha Is Legit

After attending last nights game against the Jazz, I said to myself "Thabo Can Hoop." Thabo is really blossoming this year after getting increased minutes. Last night was his first game back from a groin injury that kept him out of the lineup for 6 games. Thabo played 13:30 and was 4-5 from the field with 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. His +/- was higher than any Bulls player last night at +17 in only 13 minutes of playing time!

Thabo Sefolosha's length is such an asset because he can distract bigger 2 guards. With that in mind, it looks that Thabo is the future guard of the Bulls. Whether that will be the 1 or the 2 he is going to be in the backcourt picture.

As crazy as this may sound, Thabo reminds me of Scottie Pippen. Yes I know people are sick of the Michael and Scottie comparison, but hear me out. First thing that reminds me of him is Thabo's length. The second thing is that he dribbling style closely resembles Scottie's. Now the things that matter. When Thabo is on a fast break, or is driving to the basket he looks identical to Scottie's style except the hairstyle. He is a "Poor Man's" Scottie right now.

You Make The Comparison, First take a look at Scottie than Thabo.
