No Easy Basket

The April 29th deadline is fast approaching and there are is no report on Thabeet’s departure to the NBA draft. The last news about it was on getting his mother settled into America and finding her a job. With today’s strict immigration laws, it is will take awhile to see if it is possible. Rumor’s swirled from a certain departure to his remaining.

If he declares, he would picked up in the later first round by a good team but lose out on a couple of millions. In the ‘05 class, the number one pick earned $3.617 million in the first year and the 20th pick earned only $937,000 that same year. So he would be paid for staying in college, if he rises ten more spots on the draft board to say 8th, which earned $1.802 million.

Uconn would do good to settle his mom up nice and use this seven foot shot blocking beast. A center piece to a young talented team, but if he goes then Uconn is prepared. Mandeldove, Kelly, Edwards and Adrien would be the down low presence with the acquisition of Ed Davis, a 6’9 power forward and is ranked 4th in the country in his position.

The deadline is looming and the ball is in Thabeet’s court.
