what do u expect from him this season?

If he learns how to stay out of foul trouble he could probably see 30+ mpg.
If he plays 30+ mpg, he could average maybe 15ppg, 8rpg, 2bpg.
He's a developing center so i'd say his breakout year is yet to come. If a good point guard comes to Indiana, Hibbert could go beyond 15/8.

30min should be a good target

Depends on what pieces are added in the off season for me.

If we can get a defending/rebounding/athletics guy at the PF spot and a floor general his numbers could be great.

I do expect him to be in a lot less foul trouble next season, especially with the news that we've brought in a specific big man coach.

I think he got over most of his foul trouble problems last year. He learned not to attempt to block every shot and just keep his arms straight up.

There were plenty of games where Roy only had 2 or 3 fouls, yet O'Brien refused to play him because of his infatuation with going small and playing Murphy at center.

O'Brien's rotations coupled with the return of Jeff Foster will have a huge impact on any expectations for Roy next season. Likely, even a bigger impact than if Roy can stay out of foul trouble, because he proved last year that he can. Unfortunately, he was rarely rewarded for it.

I expect him to improve his rebounding numbers...5.7 per game is way too few for someone who is 7'2".

If he gets anywhere near 30 minutes a game, he should be averaging a double-double.

I expect him to improve this as well. Moving Murphy would certainly help this part of his game. Currently, I think he's relied on more to box out and let Murph swoop in for the board. Though when it looks like he has it, Murph swoops in anyway.

If you look at both guys production last year - Hibbert averaged 25 minute per game and Rush over 30 minutes per game.

Hibbert has the most room to improve, mainly because he can play more minutes. He has to stay out of foul trouble against other elite bigs... I think Roy can be a 15 point, 8 rebound guy next year... if they get him some help, he could be closer to 16-18 points... he's not much of a rebounder, so I think his ceiling on the boards is gonna be around 8 to 9 per game.

Brandon is about where he's gonna be. There is a chance his numbers get a little better, 12 to 14 points per game.

I love the fact that Roy is in great shape, and so far has shown that he is serious about becoming an all-star someday.

For next season I'd like to see:
30 mpg
16 pts
8 bds
2 blk
8 altered shots.
