Hasheem Thabeet (born Hashim Thabit Manka; 16 February 1987)[1] is a Tanzanian professional basketball player. He played college basketball for UConn before being drafted second overall in the 2009 NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies. His performance as a second overall draft pick has led many analysts to label him as one of the "biggest busts" in NBA history.[2][3]
