Swiss Mister a Hit!!!!!!!
John Hollinger uses the oft-used "Swiss Mister" for Thabo Sefalosha in his most recent article, in which he also critiques our rookies, Tyrus and Thabo, and calls them projects, meaning they're not dissapointments, but need time to develop.
The ProjectsIn a draft with several wait-'til-next-year types, these are the most prominent.
Tyrus Thomas, Bulls: Broke his nose opening night. Welcome to the NBA, kid.
Since then he's had trouble cracking the Bulls' rotation, mixing intriguing athleticism with several moments when his inexperience (just one year of college) has become apparent. A lack of offensive polish is the biggest shortcoming.
Thabo Sefolosha, Bulls: A future defensive ace, the Swiss Mister already has Chicago's brass beaming over his long-term future.
But for the immediate future, Sefolosha's offense pales in comparison to his defense, so he's not useful for more than spot duty on a team hoping to win the East.

It's called honesty, not bashing.
And it's 100% true that Sefolosha hasn't done much offensively. He's been hesitant to shoot the three, hasn't drawn any fouls, and his scoring and assist ratios aren't anything to write home about. Obviously he can improve in a lot of these areas, but that's what he's done so far.

huh?
Hinrich averages 2.33 turnovers in 32.9 minutes a game
Thabo averages 0.71 turnovers in 13.2 minutes a game.
You double Thabo's minutes and give him 26.4 minutes a game, he would be averaging 1.42 turnovers a game. You're bringing up some invalid points.

Turnover rate
You can find the stats here (lower rate is better):

It's not exactly a well-known statistic so I think you both are being too hasty in the back-and-forth here :)

I'm just very hard on my opinions. A fault of mine.
I'll stop.
