Thabeet is averaging 2.5 points per game and 2.9 rebounds per game in only 10.5 minutes per game this season.
Thabeet was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. He becomes the highest drafted player to be sent to the D-League.
He is set to join the Grizzlies D-League affiliate, the Dakota Wizards. The Dakota Wizards are shared by the Grizzlies and the Washington Wizards.
The NBA D-League was formed during the 2006-2007 NBA season. The concept is not unlike minor league baseball. Teams send players to the D-League to play more minutes than they would for a regular NBA roster.
Those minutes are supposed to help the player develop into a more viable option for an NBA roster.
