The Memphis Grizzlies have selected 22-year old center Hasheem Thabeet with the 2nd pick of the first round of the NBA Draft. Thabeet is a big guy at 7’3″, 263 pounds and he plays a power game. He played in 100 games (99 starts) at UConn and he averaged 10.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 4.2 blocked shots per game. Thabeet is a enforcer in the paint and the Grizzlies have been dying for a player like him. Look for Thabeet to be a starter from Day #1 for the Grizzlies who finally seem to have picked the right player.
