    They don't need him to have the ball in OKC, just rebound, dunk and block shots.

    Has anyone even seen him play, he never even touched the court during his tenure with the Rockets.

    At 7'3 he should atleast be able to block shots and rebound.

    He couldn't do that in Memphis, Houston, or Portland. This guy lacks motivation .
    Stromile swift is infinitely better

    Darko Milicic was also a 2nd overall pick in 2003.
    and we know how that turned out.

    sometimes teams doesnt do a lot of background check to know about the players.

    Not drafted by OKC.

    "Acquired From Chicago along with cash considerations in exchange least 2009 first round pick…Draft rights traded by Philadelphia to Chicago in exchange for the draft rights to Rodney Carney (16th overall) and cash considerations…Originally drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round (13th overall) of the 2006 NBA Draft"

    As bad of a bust Kwame Brown was, he's at least had somewhat of a serviceable career. Thabeet has been so terrible, he can't even put up Kwame Brown numbers.

    I hate to say that you have bust, bustier, and BUSTY.


    Thabeet is a BUSTY.

    No OKC can't turn him around, they hit their draft picks. Doesn't mean they the king of developing them... as some people of would say.

    Kwame is an NBA player. He was just drafted way too high.

    Thabeet? He's far worse.

    Work ethic...

    He played hard at UCONN, that was the difference. No passion or pride in his game.
