    A T-Will knee jerk thread about how much he sucks from one game.

    A Thabeet knee jerk thread about how good he is from one game.

    I get we're all excited and stuff but I say at least wait till the preseason ends before we pass judgment on any of these players.

    But yes Thabeet doesn't look so bad in this.

    I think he could be a really solid back-up but we still need a starting center.

    I love Thabeet.
    I thought he had "no heart".
    In training camp he looked like a lazy bum...
    Now he's hustling?! :grin:

    agreed.

    Patterson said Hill was the most improved coming into training camp and Thabeet never had a question about his skill set just his desire to want to give it his best and not just rest on his contract. If McHale can keep him motivated we could be sitting on a goldmine.

    Everyone needs to hit up Thabeet's twitter...

    If he can put out this effort every night, as the other guy said "we are sitting on a goldmine..."

    Scola looked good. Lowry, Hill, Lee looked solid. Thabeet is showing moments. T-Will needs to relax.

    Kelvin Cato was a solid player... As long as we don't pay Thabeet 400 million we will be just fine...

    I defer to Morey and McHale in judging Thabeet's long term value. If they don't deem him our long term solution at center, I expect he can at least fetch a nice draft pick if he continues to play well.
