To Joakim Noah Last year?. Its have been really disappointing this year . I think this guy is a bust in the making

I wouldn't say Noah slipped, and I wouldn't say this year has been disappointing for Hibbert. But if falling to the second half of the lottery is slipping, then Hibbert certainly has the possibility of slipping. But isn't that where most people have had him pegged all season?

I laugh at whoever drafts Hibbert.

i laugh at whoever laughs at the team picking him.

He isn

I hope he falls to the Kings.

Hibbert and Hawes? LOL

i dont think hibbert will be a bust, but i dont think he should be a top 10 pick either....i hope he falls to us in the middle to late rounds

I really hope minnesota trades down and snags him in the 5-8 range. Beasley is too much a tweener between sf/pf and we will still be trying to see if foye works at pg so rose may not get picked. Minnesota needs a big badly and Hibbert is the most ready to contribute now. I just learned that he can also hit out too 18-20ft which will be essential while Big Al beasts in the post.

He may not start all the time (say if we play gs, phx, etc), but most teams will have a hard time matching up to a hibbert/jefferson combo which will easily rival oden/aldridge.

the big man is back and I wouldn't laugh at a team that snags a well rounded 7'2 guy with soft hands, a nice touch and has a defensive impact. The talk to surrounds him reminds me of what they said about brandon roy...not a high ceiling..what you see is what you get.....not athletic....yada yada yada.

You dont pass on the soon to be all time freshman leader for double-doubles. He can play the 4, AL the 5. Or Beasley can get spot minutes at the 3, AL the 4, FA C at the 5.

i doubt he will be a bust either
but he won't have a crazy amount of potential either
he'll be a solid big man

is it me or that hibbert plays better in a slow tempo offense.

I think if anything he saved a team a top 5 pick last year, and will go somewhere between 8-13 this year, which is where he belongs.

Not a lot of players with his post skills in the draft, and being 7-2 doesn't ever hurt a guys stock.

Considering two things... first, Hibbert's a solid player and doesn't have character issues. Second, Hibbert's the number one rated center in this draft class so any one who is looking for that big man down low would almost be crazy to pass on him.

I do think Hibbert's a bit over-rated. He is slow and doesn't have that big of an upside. I think Thabeet, once they both have their same experience in the NBA, will be a better player than Hibbert.

Hibbert> DeAndre Jordan

yeah for this season

Im just so glad he rejected my Hawks.

Now we have a stud in Al Horford.

Hibbert is not very fleet of foot. I don't see him being that good in the NBA

The slowest NBA frontline in NBA history...

Yeah but as a pro prospect Deandre >>>>>> Hibbert.

Hibbert has concrete blocks in his shoes.

He will be easy to go around in the pros and he will be easy to beat up the court in transition basketball.

1. Beasley will not be an effective 3 in this league.
2. Al Jefferson plays better at the 4 or alongside a pretty good post defender.
3. Hibbert is a pretty good post defender, and would allow Jefferson to play his more natural PF position.

As DX says, hibbert is not a sexy pick. Thus most realgm posters will not like him. Makes perfect sense.
