No way. OKC takes him at 4 in a hurry.

I heard that this guy never has a strong desire to score, is it true? If so, he'll be the next Kwame Brown.

More like Tyson Chandler to me. He is more of a defensive anchor for a team.

If Memphis takes Thabeet at No. 2, Darko Milicic may be available.

He's a much more realistic possiblility than many of the "Trade Targets" listed here.

He's also only a year older than Mahinmi and has played in the league for seven years. Could be a "buy low" type bargain. Can he play enough D around the rim to contribute?

He's a good rebounder, but he will ask for too much money.

I agree. IMO there's a good chance that Rubio doesn't stay in the draft so the possibility of Memphis taking Thabeet isn't far fetched. In this case they'd be looking to offload Darko's contract and I believe he could be had for the expirings of Bruce and Oberto, maybe a pick as well.

Helps both teams. Not earth shattering, but way more realistic than the Kaman, Carter, RJ, etc. scenarios. Gives the Spurs a defensive center to help Tim with a contract expiring by 2010 , so Spurs keep their flexibility and options.
