Basically he is foregoing what JC said was a top 1 5 pick to finish his degree which he is on course to finish in 3 years while he works on his offensive game for the pros. This is a great move by a great kid.

sky's the limit for thabeet, 3 years at UCONN should end up similar to okafor, a top-3 pick (okafor went 2nd i think behind dwight howard), hopefully the knicks can get him next year.

Oka4 was ready for the nba.......thabeet isn't ready. He's gonna get paid regardless so whatever.

Sorry this is better news to me than the Knicks winning the lottery:) We brought in a GREAT point guard from Rice named Kemba Walker along with three other impact freshmen to go with the guys we already have.

How often does this happen when a player returns to school? This is one of the most stale line excuses ever.

One of the factors of him staying wsa his ability to acquire a loan to pay an insurance policy against injury[like Emeka had] that was one reason[and probably biggest] why it came down to the final days.
