Haseen "The Hakeem" Thabeet... I rather do like the sound of that. BTW, this guy is 24 years old, actually played three years in college. Now they say the biggest jump you make as a professional is from year one to year two.. so far, this guy is averaging around 1pts/1rbs a game. Magificent. Grade A development right der.
I wish they would just tell him to block every shot and grab every rebound. He needs Deke's tutelage, not Hakeems...
Is it just me, or does Thabeet fall down on the majority of his blocks? Some players look super-athletic and skilled when they block shots (Hakeem). Others look clumsy.
Memphis Grizzlies talk to Houston Rockets about Shane Battier Houston wants a first round pick and thabeet for shane. http://www.commercialappeal.com/new...-grizzlies-make-deal-nothing-major-expec/?uc4
i don't get. i am frustrated not coz rox hasn't made anything. instead, why why and why do ppl keep bringing up his name again again and again? who is he? omg, he will be next jordan. we have to get him. we haven't had our foundation setup yet and we've already target our backup center. ppl are so eager to get him like if we don't do it today, we will never find another backup center anymore. he is only backup center in the world. he is a buster. he will be out of NBA very soon when all his potentials are exposed. if no 1st round pick, there is no reason to trade battier for someone no one knows whether he will be rox or not in future. letting contract expired is not a bad choice. we traded tmac exipring contract. unfortunatey, it doesn't turn out good to us. instead, we help knicks alot. if have had his contract expired, we would have been in better shape than now.
No, he's barely playing this year. Last year he played 60+ games, 13mpg, and average around 3pts, 3rbs, and 1blk. Those are typical minutes and game averages for a rookie. Apparently, using an internet search engine is more difficult than college physics to a certain poster or comprehension skills is lacking on what would consitutes as normal PT for a rookie.
Oh by the way this guy ron tilery, in case you don't know, he has direct access to the grizzlies. When he says something it is probably going to go down.
I would feel bad for Battier to head back to the Grizzlies. I would wish he would go to a contender or stay with us.
