Roy Hibbert is garbage

[PacerRaptor]

I'm so happy the Pacers traded him for a 2nd rounder. Pacers basically got nothing but saved over $15 million in salary

I don't understand how he suddenly went from a top center in the league on the Pacers into... this. What the hell happened.

He's with selena gomez doe.

He'd be a bench player in the 90s.

Starting centers in 1994-95, more than 50 games started, sorted by scoring:

Shaq
Hakeem
D-Rob
Ewing
Mourning
Smits
Divac
Mutombo
Sean Rooks
Olden Polynice
Benoit Benjamin
Eric Montross
Andrew Lang
Shawn Bradley
Will Perdue
Mark West
Chris Dudley
Andrew Lang

I suppose he could start over someone like Andrew Lang, Sean Rooks and Montross.

He would not beat out Shawn Bradley that's for sure. I would say he and Muresan are about the same level of play.

No shame in coming off the bench. He would be a more productive player in the 90's. Big men had room to operate, more isolations, more "bangers and goons".... less pace.

He was never a top center in the league.

This dude was clearly "Space Jam'd"

Like...all of his abilities from that contract year with the Pacers...just...evaporated.

It's just hilarious to watch this guy now.

And this is what the Lakers do with their cap space....I don't want to hear anything about "Kobe should have taken the minimum for the Lakers to be competitive", watching Roy on the Lakers reminds me of prime Kwame Brown, only that we don't have peak Kobe here to put up 35 points every night...

hibbert is basically a real life version of groot. a big body, that can stand in place and swat shots. his main problem is hes not that mobile. but if the lakers had players that rotated properly, he'd look much more valuable than he does now.

but the reality of the situation is that his team doesnt give effort on D. team defense disappears quarters at a time, leaving hibbert to cover up on their lapses, resulting on him looking like an asshole out there.

put him on a team with players that actually give defensive effort and have any semblance of defensive IQ, and he looks much better.

[Smoke117]

Roy Hibbert can be an effective player in the right situation (defensively anyway), but he's not a guy who can join any team and make an immediate impact. I'm sure on the Heat we could make him useful again.

classic thread

[DrakeTheSnake]

This is not news.

[Springsteen]

He was never a top center in the league.

Revisionist history. He was all the talk with that Pacers squad.

Hibberts skyhook training with Jabbar about to come full circle thanks to Konex

No shame in coming off the bench. He would be a more productive player in the 90's. Big men had room to operate, more isolations, more "bangers and goons".... less pace.

He'd block more shots that's for sure when he could paint camp. He'd suck massively on offense though, he has no post moves worth mentioning and every center was 7 foot back then.

Which is why I put him in the same category as a worse Shawn Bradley, that's the truth, even 7'6'' Shawn Bradley had better moves than Hibbert.
