Decent college freshman
One of the biggest recent draft busts waived by Pistons
Hasheem Thabeet waived earlier today. Thunder fans, what happened? I thought he was still getting garbage time minutes with you guys last season?
It's sad that a guy like Thabeet hasn't been able to work on bulking up a bit and taking advantage of his 7'3 height.

Re: One of the biggest recent draft busts waived by Pistons
He never loved the game. He only played because he was tall and wanted to make money. He's made his money, he's a millionaire and is set for life. Now he'll go back and pursue his actual dream of becoming a doctor, he only needs a couple more years to complete his pre-med. He's a great dude, and IMO he would be wasting his life playing some game when he could be out there actually helping people and making a difference. That's one thing that IMO people don't understand. Not everyone in the NBA loves playing basketball...it's just something that AA parents try and get their son to do in order to make some serious dough later in life.

Did not know that at all. He's definitely made his millions in the league with that first rookie contract. If only I were 7'3

Damn, broke character for a bit and made a good post. Well said.

NBA rookie of the year
Re: One of the biggest recent draft busts waived by Pistons
He's more interested in being a rocket scientist. Good luck to him. Never had the heart to be an NBA player.

Very good NBA starter

Sad, he seems like a really nice and funny guy. Well, he can always take his talents to China.

He does come across as nice and funny, but also a bit dumb as well. I'd rather have a nice and funny guy who knows when it's best to be the goofball and lighten the mood as opposed to a guy who just simply IS the goofball all the time.
And his only talents are being tall and having long arms. It's got him this far, so maybe it can get him somewhere in China.

Mind citing where you heard this? I can't find anything to back that up.
