If you adjusted a few things on Thabeet he would be by far the first pick in the draft. But the things you have to adjust--especially the hands/the fluidity--you cant guarantee that it will ever be there. He shows great promise at times on the offensive end and at others is so severely raw it scares you. And while he is a one man show on the D[which in away seperates him from the other C's he is not a particularly good 1-1 player on the D. I think that is one thing that surely can improve.
Thabeet has STRONG STRONG heart he tries hard and practices hard and he has a LOT of character/is smart etc.. he's VERY strong despite not being at maximum strength for his body and his body is second to none at a true powerfully built 7-3 265. Thabeet is pure brick and mortar right now. Jim C said he is sure fire lottery so someone has spoken for him in the nBA.
