Thaddeus Gets mentioned on ESPN's Best under 23 article

I can't recall a 19 year old basketball player ever having a go to move as good as Thad's. I can't recall a 19 year basketball player EVER having a go to move. You have to go back many years to find a player. Lou Alcindor? Akeem? Iverson didn't develop the crossover till Georgetown.

It's funny b/c I can remember Thad in a preseason interview talking about his little left hand hook...he does have nice moves around the basket for a young player.

Shaq had a go to move at 19- He turned around, dunked on everyone and tried to rip the basket down. Was pretty effective for his first 5 years in the league...

AI was undefendable from the day he entered the league at 20.

Historically, players weren't even allowed to play in college until they were sophomores, so you really can't go back that far.

Thad's spin moves and left hook are amazingly polished for a guy who was supposed to be a raw project. I guess playing him on the perimeter at GT last year hid his talent and polish from the scouts...

As for that list, it's horrible. they actually gave Rondo and Noah votes over Al Jefferson and LaMarcus Aldridge? Really?

And they get paid for that?

Yeah, that is crazy. They snubbed Al Horford as well.
