By all accounts, Thabeet should have been a great NBA player. He was 7’3” and 265 pounds. He played three seasons at UConn and led the Big East in blocked shots in each season. This wasn’t some tall guy who’d never played basketball before, this was the Big East Player of the Year.

The Grizzlies were thrilled to take him with the second pick in the 2009 draft. Surely they thought they had just found their franchise center. That hadn’t. Thabeet averaged 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per game over 7 NBA seasons.
He was drafted ahead of 3 perennial All-Stars but was never one himself. Flip the slide to see who he is.
