Roy Hibbert is more overrated than Paul George

[navy]

11.4 points and 7.4 rebounds on .458% from the field and you are the tallest and strongest person in the gym at all times?




Good thing the refs give him "verticality" or his defense would be a joke as well

He's only good against Chris Bosh. Every center is good against Chris Bosh. Except Perkins.

They've both been overrated by the media since last year's ECF.

[UK2K]

Hibbert is butt.

PG does have games where he goes off.

[Clyde]

Hibbert does tall better than anyone in the NBA.....

...yes overrated.

[Milbuck]

If you value defensive impact, Hibbert is anything but overrated.

[ArbitraryWater]

Honestly, David West is their Best Player. Been it last year too.

[WallIn]

Hibbert is a joke. Averaging 11/7 with this hype and a height advantage. Disgrace.

He's quite good defensively. That's all

[salwan]

His defense is really really good.
His offensive game sucks though.

[KobesFinger]

I don't understand how he shoots 46% as a C.

[DMAVS41]

They certainly were last year...

The Pacers are a much better team overall this year.

Last year they got super over-rated because they challenged the Heat. But it was just a bas matchup against a depleted team.

Both the 13 Pacers and 13 Spurs got way over-rated last year.

He's a defensive player. Stop looking at offensive numbers to rate a player. Hibbert has a huge impact on defense and is the best rim protector in the league.

This pacers team is way more balanced than last years. His numbers are deceiving because he has actually accepted being a full time bruiser garbage defensive man. The gunners on the team are PG and Lance and they also grab 7 boards a piece, so does West.

There's only so many boards during a game. You can't have five 20-10 players on one team. I'd rather have my whole starting five grabbing 7 boards than have one guy getting 10+ and everyone else struggling to grab 3 or 4 boards.

You mean he gets away with verticality like nobody else.

If anybody else tries to jump straight up and creates contact, its a foul.

[christian1923]

Yeah but we all know he will turn into Patrick Ewing come playoff time. He's coasting

[J Shuttlesworth]

His defense is really really good.

This.
