all the bodies we had to fill in at the 5 last year? No offense but your an idiot if you believe that. Look not further then this years draft. How many different guards and even forwards are there that are very similar talent wise, now look at the crop of centers. Two are projected in the first round. Big guys proven in college and with the potential to be a very good player are few and far between. Sure you can throw any old 7 footer with two left feet down low and reserve your seat in NY at the end of the year, but this team has the potential to be so much more. I dont see the bust factor. He played at UConn for 4 years and got better every year. Its not like he is coming out of some mid major school where the lack of competition made him look great. He played against the best and at the least held his own. The only way the Thunder shouldnt draft him is if they land someone like Gortat in FA or Kaman through some sort of trade. You dont draft with the expectation to be in the lottery again next year. You fill holes or take the best available player and Thabeet fits both. Especially with all the guards and forwards we already have on the roster. If you recall Swift wasnt the worst thing down low last year when he wasnt sulking and hes a red headed white dude. But it ends with him at center for the Thunder. To me its a no brainer even with the supposed bust risk. I mean at worst what is he going to be? Samuel Dalembert? Dikembe when he was 35? If thats the worst case, and I think it is, its still an upgrade. We can get someone just like Harden or Curry with our second pick. And those guys arent going to start even if we got them but Thabeet could and will.

all they do with the 2010 is use the same standings that ending this year, hence the thunder listed 4th. relax.
