Who are your other options? I'm in a league where you start players on a daily basis, and on nights where I have more players in action than I do roster spots, I'm sitting Hibbert. Looks like Murphy's return has really marginalized him. The only reason why I haven't dropped him yet is that Indiana has been losing, so maybe they'll come to their senses and play Hibbert big minutes again.

Im choosing between him and jason thompson mainly, also aldridge, but i feel like aldridge performance has been bad latley and the only thing stopping me from starting thompson over hibbert is that spencer hawes is only out from day-to-day and hibbert gets me blocks which i need

ahh but then im lacking blocks, and when thompson and hawes are both healthy they split playign time and thompson puts up bad numbers, and all aldridge will give me is ebounds and points and not even that many. and i need the blocks!

FYI....ever since the return of Murphy, Foster and Dunleavy......and therefore more rotational options that he is comfortable with.....Jim O'Brien ( inexplicably ) has been going with Matchups. As a result, Hibbert's minutes have been going up and down. Against Teams with an athletic scoring Center, JO'B chooses not to play Hibbert more minutes....whereas against a Team with a "unathletic" Center....he'll get 20+ mintues.

If you have options that will definitely have a consistent # of minutes in the Frontcourt, I'd play him over Hibbert. Hibbert will contribute when he gets minutes....but unless the Pacers get injury riddled again in the Frontcourt....his minutes will be up and down.

BTW....this is one of the reasons why man Pacer Fans want JO'B fired.
