As one of my astute readers (or perhaps my one reader, who happens to be astute—Ryan doesn't count) pointed out, I posted my Caron Butler haiku twice, at 16 and 25. I suppose I could claim that Butler is so good that he deserves two spots on my definitive All-Haiku NBA Top 50 List™, but that would be a total lie. So I owe you, my faithful reader(s) a replacement poem. Which I shall write right NOW.
Here's the thing, though. I will not put a name with this haiku. It will be up to you, dear reader(s), to guess the subject. It will probably be either super-easy or completely impossible. First, though, I should refer to the list so I don't make the same mistake twice. Sigh.
Blocks and dunks? Simple.
The rest of the game, not yet.
Great expectations.
(I was actually thinking of two different guys when I wrote this, but it fits one better than the other. Not sure whether it's super-easy or completely impossible, although I expect the guy I wasn't really thinking of to be named before the guy I was really thinking of. If that makes any sense.)

Oden?
Is it me?
Or maybe Josh Smith?
Josh was the guy I wasn't really thinking of. And it's not Oden. (Either I did him already or he's coming up soon. One or the other.)
Dwight Howard?
Didn't even think about Dwight. Pretty sure he's coming soon.
Maybe I was too vague. Hm. Secondary haiku about the same guy?
Gifted and a gift
Learning the game the hard way
Unbelievabull
Tyrus?
Ding ding!
I was going to say Tyrus Thomas but somebody beat me to it!
The joshes? Smith more than Howard (since there is no mention of rebs)
Correct answer: Ben Wallace. And don't you dare tell me he doesn't still have a lot to learn!
