Hasheem Thabeet to RGV Vipers (UPDATE: Makes his debut)

It annoys me soooo much that Thabeet isn't as good as say Kendrick Perkins.


Kendrick Perkins is awful offensively as well, but he makes up for it by just being nasty, and his defensive rotations are solid as well as his on ball technique. Can it really be that hard to make Thabeet serviceable? All he has to do is defend, rebound and handoff/outlet pass.


PLEASE tell me our coaches can get to him!

 

Don't worry. Many sophmores aren't as good as 7 year NBA veterans like Perkins. They get better with experience. 2nd year Perkins wasn't as good as he is now either.

 

If there is a lock out beginning June 30th, could the Rockets ask Hakeem and CD to work with Thabeet during the summer? Since they aren't Rocket employees, would the Rockets be violating the lockout?
