Thomas or Aldridge?

In the 2006 NBA Draft, the Bulls picked LaMarcus Aldrdge, a 6-11 forward out of Texas, with the second overall pick. They eneded up trading Aldridge to the Portland Trailblazers for Tyrus Thomas, a 6-9 forward out of LSU, after they selected him with the fourth overall selection.
After Thomas had a few underwhelming seasons averaging 5.2 and 6.8 points per game, it looked like the Bulls had made a bad choice in not keeping Aldridge. Aldridge had an explosive sophomore campaign averaging 17.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game in the 07-8 season. He is averaging similar numbers this season, in fact even better at 18.4 points per game.
Thomas has recently come on very strong for the Bulls however. This may be due to the inside depth the Bulls now have with Brad Miller, Joakim Noah, and Tim Thomas. Tyrus may have struggled before simply because he had no other inside help. In the past few weeks, he has shown flashes of the dominant player he can be. The guy is a FREAK athlete with amazing God-given talent. His biggest issue is working on staying focused night in and night out. If he can mix the mental aspect of the game with his physicality, he can become a very scary player for opponents.
So the question is, Thomas or Aldridge? Right now, Aldridge still looks like the better overall pick, but will Thomas prove this wrong a few years down the road? I guess we'll have to wait and see. But until then, I know I'm comfortable saying I am very happy that Tyrus Thomas wears a Chicago uniform.
