@cody white
Curry yes! Thabust,NOPE! WRONG!
See “The Art of War”…or “The Book of Five Rings”
(doesn’t end up good for the over-rated/over-vauled.)

It’s the same thing = he’s the only guy over 7 foot so people jump to the conclusion that he’s invaluable –

you can be 7+ and still be mediocre (Bol, Bradley, etc) . . .

You don’t settle for mediocrity at #3 . . .

@Dylan or they're overvaluing 5 poins-5 rebounds-2 blocks-3 defensive three second violations-5 fouls

Whoever drafts Thabeet isn’t necessarily overvaluing HIM as a player, but they might be overvaluing what 10 pts – 10 reb – 3 blocks from the center position is actually worth. Does that make sense?

Of course, they’re GMs and I’m not, so maybe I’m UNDERvaluing it.

@Keith Exactly how I feel about it Keith. I really trust in Presti's scouting ability and the work he puts in. If he sees it fit to take Thabeet, then I'll have to side with that because I trust him. But like you said, I don't see Presti taking him.

@Joe
I think we all can agree that a quality 7 footer is a big deal for teams. If one is possible, you have to put every effort into figuring out exactly how good they are. Presti spending so much time scouting Thabeet is a good thing. If he picks Thabeet, it’s because he had extensive knowledge saying Thabeet will make it.

Still, I don’t think he’s the pick. Presti had to spend that time because you simply can’t overlook someone that big. However, he should have seen time and again that Thabeet isn’t the guy he is billed to be. Presti should know better than anyone not to pick the kid.
