Well, we all saw this coming, but now it is official that the UConn Huskies beast in the paint Hasheem Thabeet has declared for the NBA draft.

As of right now the Oklahoma Sooners forward superstar Blake Griffin is the unanimous choice to be picked at number one no matter what team has the pick, but with Thabeet thrown into the mix where will he land.

Thabeet is by no means an offensive center unless he works on some post moves, but he is without a doubt a huge defensive force in the paint and can definitely improve the defense on any team he plays for on the next level.

Who knows how good this kid will be in the NBA, but he does have a very good upside for a team struggling on the defensive end of the floor.
