Hasheem Thabeet wants nothing more than to forget about the past and focus on the present.

Can't blame him for that.

The first three seasons of his NBA career were rough. Three teams. Four coaches. Lots of struggles.

Which means that this season with the Thunder already qualifies as a success. As the reserve big man prepares to face Memphis, the team that drafted him, he is flirting with career bests in points, rebounds, minutes and field goal percentage in his first season in Oklahoma City.
