Tabit beat Curry, Harden, and Holiday to become the top spot
On June 26, 2009, the Memphis Grizzlies chose Hashem Thabit with the second pick in the first round, and even James Harden and Stephen Curry, who were later famous all over the world, could only be ranked behind Thabit, at that time the Grizzlies had Mike Conley, OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay and other new stars, and there was no shortage of core players in the front line. It's just that after the draft was completed, the Grizzlies got Zach Randolph and Haddadi through trade, and Tabit, who just entered the league, needed to compete with Mark Gasol, Zach Randolph, Haddadi and others for playing time.
In his rookie season, he competed with the black and white for playing time
In the 2009-2010 season, Tabit ushered in the rookie season of his career, due to the Grizzlies' overcrowding, the Grizzlies did not want to develop Tabit, resulting in less and less playing time for Tabit, Tabit played 68 regular season games for the Grizzlies that season, including 13 starts, and contributed 3.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 13 minutes per game.

In the 2011-2012 season, the Rockets who lost Yao Mai completely entered the rebuild, and the original trade to Tabit was just to save the team's expenses, and the team's coaching staff naturally did not give him the opportunity to play, and Tabit only played 5 regular season games for the Rockets that season, averaging 1.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in 4.6 minutes per game.
