Ya. Look at him. His shoulders are so small he's going to get pushed around his whole life. Kevin Martin might have a bigger frame for crying out loud.

Thabeet is the result of Mutombo having an affair with Manute Bol's niece.

Predraft:

Who would you compare your game to? Would those Mutombo comparisons be accurate?

Hasheem Thabeet (5:45 PM)
Mutombo blocks shots, I block shots. But other than that we're different. I'm capable of doing a lot of different things. You couldn't ask for more than he did, but I have heard people say I'm more like Dikembe and Yao. Dikembe on D, Yao on O. Those are the kinds of goals I have set for myself. I haven't gotten to shoot the ball that much at UConn. But I was working on it all the time. I think I'll surprise some people with my offense.
