Hasheem Thabeet
C+ D+ D+ B C+ A
Junior, UConn Strengths: 7'3. There. He blocks a lot, a lot of shots and keeps opponents weary of taking the ball to the bucket. He is so long that he doesn't need to work as hard as most post players to get the ball in a position to score. He's a solid defender outside of shotblocking, too. Weaknesses: He's not a basketball player, really. He's worked hard on his offensive game and is still very limited; he can mostly just drop the ball in the basket or complete an alley oop. He has good form on his foul shot but is absolutely horrendous from the stripe. Can't put the ball on the floor and needs to be a better rebounder. Outlook: Very raw, but should be a good shot blocker at the least. Draft Slot: Could make the end of the lotto on shotblocking and potential alone. BBS Comparison: Desagana Diop

He got so much better in his sophomore season. He was the glue of that Uconn team and why they were one of the most dangerous teams in the country. He got almost 5bpg compared to like 3 or something in his freshman year. I know his free throw shooting was much improved too. I wouldn't call him an offensive force by any stretch but he is getting a lot better. I'm really curious to see if there is more development this upcoming season if so he'll be a top pick in real life.

Saw most of his games I think. He improved so much, but he's definitely never gonna be anything but a shotblocker in the NBA.

not bad, he looks like he could be really solid here with those ratings.

C+ inside seems kind of high for Thabeet... he looks like a top 4-5 pick with those ratings.
