Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3020858, member: 55"] Thabeet never got enough credit for how much he improved each of his two off seasons at UConn. Please remember -- when he showed up in November of '06, he was horrible. Horrible. All he was was big, and if we had wanted to win in 06-07 it was never clear to me that we wouldn't have been better with Edwards or Kelly getting more minutes. But Calhoun saw what Thabeet would be with patience, and two seasons later he was a force. Yes, his utility was based on his height, but he could hit free throws, and foul line jumpers, and play 35 minutes a game rarely getting in foul trouble. Never understood why someone who must have worked his butt off to get better in college couldn't keep getting better as a professional. [/QUOTE]
