I don't expect any different in the NBA. It amazes me how fans are so quick to write off a player because he somehow doesn't live up to overhyped and overreacting analysts' expectations. Do you watch basketball? Jus sayin... Do you? Thabeet was one of the most prolific shot blockers in college basketball history. He's not having a great year but he'll be a good center some day. You should know better being a magic fan. People were questioning the dwight pick early especially after okafor was outplaying dwight his rookie year. Of course thabeet will never be the top center, but he could be samuel dalembert or marcus camby. Thats more than enough to have a successful nba career.

I mean Magic fans should understand more than most fans but a descent center can change the game and usually don't get any good til they're in their mid 20's... D12's not even close to his prime yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FENDI 4 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Thabeet actually has pretty decent numbers for a rookie center, as a starter of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw it and I am fairly certain the refs did as well on the playback. It was a nice little kidney shot that the refs never would have seen without going to the replay.
