Is Roy Hibbert playing like he did in Georgetown? I knew he was supposed to be good but then he did really bad. I was wondering if any of the locals here paid attention to him or if anyone paid attention to him in general even if they weren't... I hope this isn't too off-topic. BTW, it's me Gilfanatic123. I couldn't access my account and I decided to create a new one. Still the same user though for those that recognize me.

I'm wondering if he's regressing.

Didn't know a whole lot about Hibbert at Georegtown, but based off the little I saw on him he was who I hoped fell to the Wizards in the draft when Toronto selected him...

I always thought he looked slow in college, but he still had low-post ability and was a true center.

Don't know how much they demand of Hibbert in Indiana, but it seems they're content with him just playing great defense at center.

When Roy first arrived at G'Town he could barely run. And I'm being serious.

Through hard work he changed his body (lost some weight) and improved his offense greatly.

Also, with Hibbert the Hoyas defensive FG% was crazy low.


I have no clue what's going on with him right now.

So to answer your question, Yeah, he's definitely regressing.

Yeah it just seems like he's missing really easy shots. I don't understand it. He's right in front of the rim most of the time and has wide open looks. People aren't kidding about his lack of post-moves.

Also at times it seems like he's immobile.

He could be hurt and their just not telling the fans. Something is odd here.

I remember going to a Hoyas game and the fans weren't too friendly to him

He was soft as hell and basically a giant oaf, he was awful

He only makes those shots against Miami for some reason.

As others have mentioned, Hibbert was terrible when he arrived at Georgetown, but he got progressively better. As a pro, he started meh, made a significant jump in his 4th year, and has regressed each of the past two seasons. Here's his progression using my metric (PPA -- per minute stat that's pace adjusted, accounts for defense, and includes a "degree of difficulty" factor. In PPA, average = 100 and higher is better.)

2009 -- 78
2010 -- 104
2011 -- 100
2012 -- 155
2013 -- 129
2014 -- 90

His offensive efficiency has never been particularly good. This year, it was back to bad again.

He's so overrated.
