Much Better is how Hasheem Is Looking Like

[aceboon]

been watching the Thunder/Raptors game and he looks like a competent backup C, which is a far cry from how he looked in Memphis & Houston. Very active on D and rotating very well, and on the few times where he's received the ball on offense he's shown the hands to catch and while he didn't finish, he got fouled and converted his free throw attempts. I know this sounds like something you would expect out of the #2 pick but it's baby steps and he's looked better every game so far and looks like he might've found a home in OKC. Now if only we can get Lamb some minutes...

He looks really good. 8, 5, 2 is good for him. I think he can latch on in this role. The team atmosphere on the Thunder is great.

thinking the same thing... i think the team and the situation is much better

i hope he grows that fro out finally

Player of the game tonight. Not dominant but makes a difference defensively and looks like he belongs. He has also slowly been working on his body and he is notably stronger and thicker than 2-3 years ago.

Lamb has now scored 6 points in 2 minutes in his NBA career.

would've liked to see him try to break his guy down on that last possession instead of launching a 30 footer, that 3 off the curl was vintage Lambo tho

Going to OKC saved Hasheem's career. They care about player development, just a great fit for Hash.

Apparently Drummond is hitting three's these days too.

Hope so.

He did foul out in 22 minutes, though. 10 pts (2-2, 6-6), 5 rbs, 2 blks
Minus the fouling out, those are solid numbers for a backup center.

Yes.

In my head, you intended that post to sound like something Yoda might post, so I went with it.

I still think Hasheem can be a competent defensive NBA center.

Every single person knew drafting you would be getting a project. To keep him glued to the bench for a couple years and then throw him into a game for 8 minutes and expect him to be an All Star was ridiculous.

Hasheem is still young and on a team like OKC with a leader like Durant, I think the future is bright for him.

Calhoun should have made him shoot his free throws from there

Didn't Van Exel stand like a stride behind the line?

have him shoot jumshots as free throws, there was a HOF who did that can you guess who that is or anybody guess?

Lamb is averaging 144 points per 48 minutes. Gotta love that kind of production.
