who do you take if they are both available mid-first round and you need a big man. DX has robin going one ahead of thabeet at 19

Thabeet because he's shown so much improvement in one season and has more potential than a guy like Robin. They are both great defenders.

Robin is a role player at best right now. He is the better player, but Thabeet's upside makes him the pick.

JC said yesterday that teams have basically told him that Thabeet is lock for a lottery pick.

Robin has more hustle and smarts, but Thabeet has a better basis for really having an impact in the NBA.

I love the shot blocking and improvement Thabeet has shown. Give me the big fella!

Ill take Lopez because potential pans out roughly 3% of the time.
