Verticality doe.

[BlackVVaves]

The real question is...

How much does his elite defense compensate for a complete lack of consistent, reliable, offensive or rebounding production?

I mean Dro is right, he's there to provide a defensive presence. But, at what point does one say "That shit doesn't make up for being severely mediocre in all other facets of the game"?

Like...is Hibbert a 7'2 version of Tony Allen? In which case....he's a 1st Team All Defense player, but a far cry from an All Star...

Why hasn't Big Al made an ASG yet?

[cos88]

some clowns were crowning hibbert as the best C in the league 4 months ago saying he is better than dwight. for sure some now bring this up and wonder why wasn't al an all star. if you asked them back then he would laugh at you

Defense matters

[Xiao Yao You]

Why hasn't Big Al made an ASG yet?

Because his teams don't win. He doesn't play D. He's not efficient.

How are the Jazz doing without him?

He's much more efficient than Hibbert, and he's leading the Bobcats of all teams to a winning record. Also, didn't know the ASG was reserved for people on winning teams.

Defense matters

Enough to make up for the vast disparity in offense?

[Xiao Yao You]

How are the Jazz doing without him?

They're doing just fine. The plan was to lose and they've lost. They didn't lose because Al was gone though. They lost because they don't have an NBA caliber starting pg and their back-up is at best a 3rd string pg. Despite that they were close to a .500 team in the middle of the year which was basically what they were with Jefferson. Letting him go was a no brainer. The Jazz have been a lot more interesting to watch with actual ball movement again as opposed to that horrible Al ball they played the past couple years.

He's much more efficient than Hibbert, and he's leading the Bobcats of all teams to a winning record. Also, didn't know the ASG was reserved for people on winning teams.

You haven't been paying attention than. Winning certainly plays a role in all-star selections.

Cats have a great shot at upsetting pacers.

[ProfessorMurder]

Because his teams don't win. He doesn't play D. He's not efficient.

22/11/2/1/1 on 50% isn't efficient? Eat a dick.

He almost doubled the averages of an allstar in 3 categories and wasn't given a spot on the allstar team.

[atljonesbro]

Roy Hibbert is bad. Not sure if he's even a top 15 center. Pacers are getting 1st rounded for sure.

They are both overrated and Al Jefferson seems to get more and more overrated as the days go by because people won't shut the **** about him. Al Jefferson average 21.8ppg on 19 shots a game...that is complete and utter crap for a big man. That isn't even good efficiency for a guard even. He's playing some decent defense for the Bobcats, but a big man who needs to take 19 shots to average 21.8ppg is anything but underrated. He has no business being the first option as scorer and anyone who thinks different is an idiot and has no concept of the game of basketball.

Who should be the first option on the Bobcats ?
