You're an idiot, read all your posts, you're defending him like he's a god, walked on water, I never said I didn't like HT or he wasn't valuable . My point has always been, We haven't had a true big man with all around skills as Emeka. Go smoke some more Hasheem...
You didn't really provide a great argument when someone countered with Hasheem Thabeet, though. All you said was that you remembered him being flipped over Blair's back, as if that negated everything that Hasheem did at the college level. People actually tried to have a reasonable discussion with you and you were overly defensive and dismissive right off the bat.

What ever, read every single post, don't come late to the party and go all Dr Phil. I have said and simply say, Emeka was an overall better talent, period. Also said would be nice to have more a typical PF/C type players with more of an overall game. I'm not here to debate or put down anyone, this is an opinion based board, like it, love it,hate it, who cares.. Don't read or reply but I'm all in for UCONN and this board for some reason likes to nit pick on anyone who disagrees with anyone"she opinion than their own.
 
Yeah, not over my head, keep reading your dear Abby letters pal.
And keep gracing us with more original compelling thoughts like "gawrsh guys I sure wish we could get more Emeka Okafors" (yes I have been reading your posts with a Goofy voice)

*eagerly awaits irrelevant childish retort and name-calling*

Again, nice thoughts guy. Love all the opinions, but on another note, you should apply for a job at Disney.

Nah man, and you should heed your own advice, as you're the one entertaining all of us; and you don't even realize you're doing it.

That is a true gift.

Yes, ok, I'll hire you, make sure you wear your Sunday best to the interview
 
Please all garbage put backs etc, his offensive game and post moves couldn't hold a candle to Emeka, again which is why he had a longer NBA career and would still be playing if not for an injury. Teams still wanted Emeka if he came back, didn't see anyone knocking down doors for HT to come back, nice try though...

Wrong here he eventually had a nice little one handed flip off the backboard facing up and it was far from just put backs although some were with authority. He turned out to be outstanding for the Huskies and capable of throwing 20 in on any given night, something we haven't had in a while.

Wrong.
 
Wrong.
Accept for the fact that he was completely correct. Hasheem scored more than 20 six times his junior year and was close to it on many occasions. Again, don't let facts get in the way of your fantasy based narrative.

Dude, seriously, he could have scored a thousand points for all I care. Emeka was the better all around player period, I know HT was better than what we have had, but you and everyone else are the ones living in fantasy land if you think he was a complete player like Okafor was. Again demonstrated by the longevity of his NBA career, Emeka never saw the D League, end of story. I'm done debating this with you and everyone else, it's getting old and frankly I've got better things to do. Bottom line, my hope/wish/desire is we land a big man who we can run some plays through, can hold their own on the block and looks like an intelligent basketball player vs a lost puppy. I hope you have a splendid day my fellow Husky , remember we are all on the same side... Go Huskies!!!!

My argument is he wasn't feared offensively and that Emeka was a better overall talent, dispute that... His NBA career was a joke...

Thabeet was not Okafor at UConn. Okafor was a legit NOPY candidate. Thabeet was "just" a first team All-Big EAst and honorable mention All-American Center. But no one said he was as good as Okafor -- you said we hadn't had a real center since Okafor. And any belief that a first team all league center isn't real is either idiotic or obnoxious. Or more likely in your case both.

Hey there's the NBA and there's college. Some guys just end up good college players, great for some, their games do not transition to the next level though it happens. That was as close to great and dominant as you get. Emeka was better overall because he ended up with a really nice face-the-basket game, improved it dramatically. Thabeet was easily the biggest force on D we have ever seen in the lane, not close. People got offensive rebounds and got the hell out of dodge if their name wasn't Blair all the time and if they didn't their shots were only hoping they didn't get blocked getting nowhere near the basket. He wasn't Emeka on O for sure but he was someone you could throw the ball to and he could do something with it. Didn't have to be a lob and wasn't always a put back as you say, he improved no doubt to the point where he was a threat. Yeah your argument is getting old in just one thread because you insist on the NBA stats which means . We're talking college - Adam Morrison sucked too huh? Laettner wasn't as good at Duke as people say because did you see how little he accomplished in the NBA? Like it or not Thabeet is one of the best gigs we've had don the uniform and his improvement over 3 years is something we could only wish we had 1/2 of for our guy now. Enough about this..

Because after this I am in agreement, we need someone physically tough to keep their ground but also athletic and intelligent enough to know when to help, block shots and move their feet. It's been a while, we're due. Maybe a basket will show up on the porch this spring/summer - hear's hoping!

Again your lawyer skills need sharpening, I actually said we haven't had a player with all the tools a big man should have like Okafor . After that, I said Thabeet wasn't as good as Okafor as others debated. I said I actually liked HT and he had skills, again, I'm a UCONN fan like everyone else and an alumni. Opinions are what they are, facts are facts, law 101. What can be proven is Okafor was a better talent overall and that's a fact . My other point is we haven't had that type of player since he left, deal with that fact as well. Have a splendid day counselor .

Again, don't care about those guys or their stats, only Ok and Th. Yes, agree, just want a good big man brother is all. Be well.

That was like the least critical post of you in the last couple of pages. What was that response for?

With the general style of posting and the emerging frequent use of "dude," I think we have been arguing with a teenager. So I think we ought to just let him be.

He's 21 maybe 22, thus the '94' in his Boneyard handle.
 
Can we lock this thread so when something productive comes out we can make a new one? I keep hoping we'll get something every time I open the thread, it's getting very time consuming and sad.
