He's a Tall Kid.....
but he has MAJOR flaws in his game and taking him at the
top of the draft is a BIG mistake-
he's dimnant vs lesser teams & when he plays big east teams
he is just not the same player...........

at best he'll be sam Dalenbert- at BEST

good advice

I went to UConn and follow the program.

Thabeet needs to stay through his Senior year also.

Smaller Centers push him around. He can't stay on his feet!!! Watch a UConn game and see how many times Thabeet ends up on the floor by being knocked around by some smaller center.

The big men in the NBA would push him around like he was a nobody.

The Big East is a powerful conference this year. Let's see how well he does against those cnters instead of the creampuffs that they have played.

The center form Fairfield, Nero, knocked Thabeet on his butt a couple of times. FAIRFIELD!!!

Just as said the other day-
he disappears against big teams.
he had a good amount of blocks yesterday-
but scored 4 damn points.

NO WAY you pick him at the top of the draft
Now late 1st round, 2nd round ABSOLUTELY...but not near the top

"Mutumbo advises UConn's Thabeet" THE COOKIE MONSTER SPEAKS!

Am I the only one who thinks Mutumbo sounds exactly like the Cookie Monster?

How can Mutumbo, who went to Georgetown, advise a UConn kid, and not his alma mater? Where is the loyalty? No former NC player would ever coach a Duke player.

How can a Georgetown guy ever "advice" a UConn guy? Where's the loyalty? A NC guy would never "advice" a Duke guy.

he's advising a fellow african, its not about what school he is going to. try reading the story.

I don't care if they're from the same tribe... He's a Hoya. But, considering you're a Bulls fan, I don't expect you to know anything about that.

It's not about loyalty it's about advise. This is the biggest decision this kid will ever make. He needs to get it right

It 's not about being disloyal. It's about being advised. This will be this kid's biggest decision ever. He needs to get it right.

I agree wholeheartedly. Of course, he could turn into Greg Oden as well.
