when its all said and done, Thabeet will go down as the greatest...

it comes down to this:

will thabeet ever be a good basketball player?

if he is gonna be a legit center, its gonna be here in houston under the guidance some of the best centers of all time.

rockets "fans" tend to judge players rather harshly. the man hasnt had an hour of playing time in the NBA. is it because he hasnt shown progression in practice?

i think hes a good long term project, and a good investment IF he has the passion to learn under his favorite basketball player.

hakeem- make the dream of hasheem come through

We shouldn't relate a player's bustness based on injuries...

 

lmaoooooooooo

 

Interesting how many bigs were on this list which just goes to say why Thabeet was selected 2nd, you can't teach height and people are going to pay for it.

 

I suppose 9 ppg and 2.2 blocks makes Darko serviceable, so no longer a complete bust.

But it is still one of the dumbest picks ever in the history of the NBA, considering Wade, Melo and Bosh were on the board.

 

Too early to judge OP

He hasn't even played the equivalent of an entire season yet.


Besides idk why you would gloat about a Rockets player being a bust......some fans
/thread

 

I'll take any of those guys over B.Miller...just sayin'.

 

Thats why you draft the best player available, not draft a player to fill the position you need. That always backfires to whatever teams that choose to draft like that. I still don't understand why some teams rather draft a player because they need a position to be filled other than drafting the best player available.

Portland is trying to cover up their big mistake in drafting Oden. They keep saying well it could go both ways and they kept saying Oden was the right pick and this and that. I mean they had Roy at the time and they do need a big man in the middle. But everyone knew Durant has the potential to be great. Its pathetic how they got the number 1 pick and they used that pick on a player to fill a position.

 

Oden was putting 17 PPG, 13 RPG & 3.4 BPG per 36 minutes in 22 games last year.


If Oden had been healthy, he could have very well developed into a more impactful player than Durant. His talent is truly special...

 

When he did play, he was doing very well. Not necessarily a bust; just injury-prone.

 

It because Height is overvalued in this league. Had Morey been smart he would have stocked up on bigs if he wanted a Superstar. Thats what everyone wants. A young big man in the middle is hard to come by who has skills. There will always be busts in the top picks and alot of them will be tall busts who are projects. Some will turn out to be Yao Ming and Amare. I dont believe Thabeet is a bust. You have to had some playing time to prove your a bust. He has been in the league for two years. Thats not bust yet.

 

There has been bigger busts but lets just call your list the top busts of the 21st century.

 

The most important stat was the 22 games last year. The other numbers are meaningless. It's just like Yao. His ppg, rbg, and bpg per 36 is meaningless, since the games played is 5.

If the Rockets are only concerned with stats for less than half the season, the Rockets might as well sign Przybilla, Oden, and bring back T-Mac. It's a playoff contender with lots of height for 5-10 games a season.
