Thabo the Thunder's Rodney Dangerfield

I know the guy is not a shooter but damn can he play "D".

I thought the other night against the Spurs he was an odd choice to be on the floor when they needed a bucket at the end of OT. Then I looked at the teams 3pt shooting percentages. Gross.
Thabo .333
Durant .329
Green .289
Westbrook .266
Harden .360

Maynor .667

So really maybe it wasn't that big of a deal he was on the floor respectively because Green and Westbrook can't shoot either.

But I don't think he gets half the credit he deserves for what he does on "D" with this team. He simply locks guys up on the perimeter, and he blocks a ton of shots for a guard.

He has to be a top 5 wing defender in the league.

Keep doing what you are doing Thabo it's not going unnoticed

Thabo's length has served him well with him on the court i think we can be confident with our defenseive setup
