Thabeet is Desagana Diop. No hops, doesn’t push people around, and he looks awkward. He is huge so of course he will block shots and board in college. He definitely isn’t on the level of Tyson Chandler.

I worry that Thabeet lacks the drive or heart out on the floor to put up Okafor-like numbers as a pro. I’m not sure his ceiling’s much higher than Joe Smith’s.

I would take Thabeet with a high Lottery pick, I’m just saying I don’t see him ever scoring 20 points a night in the League like Dwight. He tops out at like 13 ppg, 12 rpg, 3 bpg. More along the lines of Okafor.

@AB, that’s also a possibility, but if you were a GM with a pick in the 2-5 range in the upcoming draft, would you take the gamble with Thabeet?

Honestly, Nova is a #3 seed and should NOT have such a home court advantage like that. that game was 100% a home game for Nova. Refs were at the mercy of the fans – UCLA didnt have a shot in those conditions. BULLSH&T. the home court advantage should be reserved for the #1 seeds.

With Thabeet, I was thinking more of a new-and-improved Sam Dalembert than Dwight Howard.

Meanwhile, Memphis is destroying Maryland and Uconn is killing Texas A&M…
I was expecting some close games in the 2nd round, but so far I’m only seeing blowouts…

Hasheem Thabeet is gonna be a really nice player in the league, I think a few years of experience could make him a player in the Dwight Howard mold, what do you guys think?
