Thabeet may be tall but i cant help think of how Blair of Pittsburgh totally bitched him out.

Mullen is a career backup with 6 fouls at best. Out of the league in 2 years at worst.

Hansborough is a backup at best. He has zero lateral quickness, has a crude offensive game and simply isnt that big. David Lee would eats his lunch.

This is a terrible draft.

We will see about Rubio. I watched the olympics and have seen everything you guys have. I want to watch him guarding real NBA pgs in a real NBA game not the olympics. Two totally different games.

Thabeet can rebound and block shots until he fills out and perhaps develops a defensive game.

Hansborough is a career back up. Lee is a totally different player.

This draft is bad at the top but deep with mediocrity.

While I agree with you on that the fact is David Lee was the 30th pick and never looked like more than an 8 and 6 guy in the NBA off his time at Florida. He's the perfect example of a late round pick that you'd never expect to become a really good NBA player that does.

One big difference though. Lee was always amazingly athletic.
