Opinion - Hasheem Thabeet Is A Flop

by king13

Everyone thought the 2009 draft class is weak class and Blake Griffin is the only player that can develop into a star, but as the Las Vegas Summer league startes we could see a lot of potential. pay attention to Tyreke Evans the Kings #4 pick, Sacramento suprised the criticizers with this pick but it will eventually pay off. Curry and Derozen are also solid picks, and Curry will be the next Monte Ellis. Rubio in the next 10 years will be one of the best PG in the NBA, and Griffin is already the superstar we expect him to be.

The biggest mistake in this draft was made by Memphis, Altough Hasheem Thabeet the #2 pick got a lot of potential they need to realize that potential is not enough. his weak offensive game and his defense that was great in college but will not be enough in the NBA. even in the summer league Thabeet having a hard time, the big phyisicallity diffrence between college and NBA will have big effect on him, and his size is not giving him the same adventage he used to get.

Kwame Brown and Michael Olokwand are just couple examples for players that didnt make the adjusment they had to do to become NBA stars, and from college/HS monsters they become Draft flops, Hasheem Thabeet will join their club soon and remember where you heard that first...
