I don't watch much basketball besides the Blazers, so haven't seen a ton of Hibbert. BUT, I get the impression he's creating his own looks whereas Lopez is being set-up for easy shots by Nic 80% of the time. I think Nic would have Hibbert shooting 60%, too. Hibbert, as Nate (?) said, is a high risk / high reward trade target. I don't think our team as currently constructed (with this current coach) can win a championship. The addition of "return to form" Hibbert might change that. And with LBJ improving his roster with younger, better talent the future doesn't look good - this season would be our best bet at beating the Cavs, because if they don't win it this season they'll win it next season and the season after that.
Hibbert is not a good scorer. Has stone like hands and trouble getting into position to get the ball. Isnt mobile enough to do much once he gets the ball but he is so big that getting him the ball within 5f of the basket and he can get it in the hoop, wont be pretty though. He isnt a stat machine, has problems with rebounding as well but my god can he defend the paint. Just watch the series vs the Wizards last year. After two games Wall got scared to drive into the paint on Hibbert.
