Grizzlies sign No. 2 overall pick Hasheem Thabeet
First-round draft pick Hasheem Thabeet has signed with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 7-foot-3 center from Connecticut was the second pick in the draft. Thabeet is due to make about $7.7 million over two years under the rookie salary scale.
Thabeet is the first Tanzanian-born player drafted by an NBA team. He averaged 13.6 points, nearly 11 rebounds and 4 blocks per game at UConn last season and was named Big East co-player of the year.
Thabeet is also second on the Big East’s all-time blocked shots list behind Patrick Ewing.
i would like to see a rotation of Blair and Ian on Thabeet, we already know what Blair can do i want to see how Ian handles players taller than him, one thing for sure though is i cant wait! :hungry:
another good match up I want to see is how Mahinmi can play against Thabeet, a tall defensive center. I want to see if Ian uses pump fakes, goes straight up against him, tries to back him down , etc
but of course, Blair/Thabeet is the main attraction
I do not understand the way the game is called during the summer league for the big guys. If these refs were regular NBA refs the league would quickly become a 6 foot and under league.
Watch them give Thabeet the night off.
This time I think Thabeet will hold his own against Blair.
if blair and thabeet both play it will be fun as hell to watch :wakeup
I thought the Grizzlies did a good job in the draft, getting three defensive minded guys in Thabeet, Sam Young, and DeMarre Carroll... and then they traded for Zach Randolph, who doesn't play D and will take a huge chunk of minutes.... a very strange decision by Memphis.
I'm looking forward to seeing the 'Grizzly Blair' mauling Thabeet.
lol the thread title. There is a pretty good chance that neither will play.
Really? Thabeet has pretty much sucked this entire Summer League. I think Blair will do just fine against him.....although, I see Mahinmi having the majority of the minutes against Thabeet.Quote:

Is there a free link?
:lol Then it must be true.
I don't care about Thabeet versus Blair, I want to see Gist and McClinton not fail.
It's working fine for me. We'll see if the Spurs game works, though.Quote:

Nothing is going to show on the screen until the game starts. It's just going to be a black empty screen for now until the player comes on for the game.Quote:

Starting Line Up:
Hairston
Lasme

Hill
Blair not starting
Thread title jinx?

told you Blair wasn't going to play.
Jack brick
Atdhe.net doesn't work for me... guess just ganna wait for recap and highlights in NBA.com unless you guys can provide free link
quick foul Ian
Nice fake by Ian
Mahinmi looking pretty good so far.
Mahinmi going right at Thabeet.
Forced two fouls. Ian 4-4 on throws.
nice hook by Ian
Mahinmi rocking the beat.
Great play Ian
Nice running hook by Ian over Thabeet.
Ian taking it to Thabeet
Nice hook by Ian over Thabeet
Is that woman from the other night officiating?
Ian is looking good.
Hill with a nice floater through traffic.
Nice move by Mahinmi over Thabeet.
jack scores!!!!!!!!!
Yeah jack!
Nice board Ian.
Ian with an offensive board over Thabeet. McClinton scores on a floater off the glass.
HOOORAY Jack!
McClinton!!!
Mahinmi rebounding well :D
Ian doing a great job
Jack finally scores
There you go mcclinton
It's weird that McClinton doesn't get very close on his wide open shots.
very nice hustle by Ian getting the rebound over thabeet
Jack makes the third attempt
Did they just say Jeff McClinton?:lol
Offense is doing much better to start off with
Mahinmi looks good, solid rebounding and scoring on Thabeet.
Jack is struggling with long distance connection
Spurs up 12-9 at 1st timeout. 5:32 in the 1st.
Bell looks a little better than yesterday... I like how he's running the offense.
Ian looks great so far.
That was a nice move by McClinton. Happy to see at least one more shot fall for him.
Jack getting the looks. Needs to hit. He is so jittery. I want to see one of those step backs.
Nice hustle by Lasme but timeout was called first.
Lasme is banging pretty hard in there
some nice hustles from the boys
Like the aggression. I guess they didn't enjoy their ass kicking last night.
Ian rush the shot
Spurs look like they are featuring Mahinmi this game to see what he can do.
At least Jack's involved. By this point last game he was pulled out wasn't he? I hope he gets force-fed some minutes tonight.
boxscore link?
Ian very active tonite
Would like to see Jack shoot that. That is where him being a threat can help. He shook the guy a few times, he needs to fire in rhythm when he is just "playing".
Side note: How easy is it for Ian to get position on Thabeet? He is just going straight to his spot and posting up.
Nice pass by McClinton and then Hill.
Nice play.
Nice dish from Hill
Lasme with dunk on the fastbreak after a nice dish off from Hill.
nice fast break!
