Hasheem Thabeet Thread

[Lebron23]

Name: Hasheem Thabeet

Height: 7'3"

Weight: 267 lbs

2nd overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft

He's probably my 2nd favorite Rookie in the NBA after Blake Griffin.

I was really impressed with his performance in the NCAA Tournament last year after he averaged 13.8 ppg, 10.6 rpg, and 4.2 bpg.

Thabeet is one of the tallest player in the NBA, and I think he has the potential to lead the NBA in Shot Blocks in the near future.

Yeah, i agree.

He needs a boat load more work, saw him during the summer leauge and he did not do so well.

With time, MAYBE he can become the next dik. MAYBE

Grizz willing to deal Thabeet

Wednesday marks the official start of the trade season, with players who signed free agent deals last summers eligible as of Dec. 15 to be traded. Some GMs around the league believe that Milwaukee, which made substantial commitments this offseason to the likes of Drew Gooden (five years, $32 million) and John Salmons (five years, $39 million), may look to shed some salaries, but GM John Hammond insisted last week that the Bucks just needed to get healthy.

Right now, teams are making their due diligence calls, but no signficant offers. But one mame that is eminently available is Memphis's Hasheem Thabeet, who isn't one of the '10 free agent signees but is getting shopped hard by the Grizzlies, who have their center of the future in Marc Gasol. So the Grizz are looking to cut bait with the second pick in the '09 Draft, who's already had an NBA D-League stint, as soon as possible.
