So The Grizzlies Trained Thabeet to be a Midrange Shooter?

[Loose]

Thabeet's performance was all the more impressive in light of his pregame warm-up routine which had courtside observers gawking at how misguided the drills he was participating in were. Thabeet was shooting 15 footers, 18 footers, turnaround 18 footers, 15 footers off the pick and roll, jab step 15 footers, 18 footers off the glass. It was a wonder he wasn't shooting three pointers. Please remember he's 7'3". The only time he practiced any shots at the rim came after he was instructed to pump-fake from the top of the free throw circle and dribble twice down the key before making a layup. You think I'm exaggerating; I'm not. The average height of the Grizzlies assistant coaching staff (which includes Damon Stoudamire, Henry Bibby and Johnny Davis) might have something to do with this. Who knows. I wanted to intervene. Had it been Greg Oden, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist.

I'll be content if he can contribute in any way, He's still young so hopefully he can grow and get better with this team. Not much risk with this signing

Memphis didn't train him to do shyt; they had him shooting 15 footers in warmups so he'd be out of their real player's way.
