Wait, what? He'd be my 3rd, maybe even 4th choice on the Bulls. I'm not going strictly by numbers... going by what those numbers say. 2 of his blocks were on easy layups (saves 4 points). 4 of his rebounds were offensive and he scored on one of them and assisted Deng on another (+2 points for the assist). Also, his steal translated into his other 2 points. I can definitely understand that. He's played well. But, no way, no how has he been more important than Gordon. :( Gordon 17 pts, 2 Reb, 1 Ast. You could go either way, but I say Thomas was more "VALUABLE" in the half based on his other contributions besides points.
