    Can you believe this? He is contributing for the Thunder with valuable minutes, getting rebounds and blocking/altering shots. Today's game he equaled his career high in points @ 10.

    Would some say he is walking and chewing gum?

    Thabust has really gotten his act together in OKC. Can he keep it up the whole season is the question.

    It's different when you are on a team that expects great play and a lot of wins. You dont want to be the only knucklehead on that kind of team. That being said, he's basically doing what teams knew/know he can do, rebounding and shot blocking. Put him out there enough and he'll get them.

    He's prospering in a team that doesn't ask him to do much. No way is the guy NBA caliber, still.

    Thabeet just needs to focus on not injuring one of their star players in practice. Thabeet looks like an accident waiting to happen. I'm happy to see him making some progress.

    What is more amazing is that he was the #2 pick four years ago and 10 points is his career high.

    How can a player who is not NBA caliber prosper in the NBA?

    He's an NBA caliber niche player. Might even become an rotation player before the season is over. Doubtful, but possible.

    He's a future star in the NBA. You heard it first here.

    If he doesn't, then I wasn't actually the first to say it.
