Does everyone realize that current Rockets players have the 2 greatest low-post players ever at their disposal in Hakeem and McHale? If Thabeet doesn't learn something during this extended lock-out then he will have won the award for "worst 2nd pick ever who coulda but didn't take full advantage of what is at his disposal". That being said, Thabeet is my dark horse pick for "Most Improved Player" when basketball resumes.
