The Pistons are happy to select Roy Hibbert
The most frustrating center in the world. Tons of fouls, occasional double doubles, and nights when he just disappears altogether. Somehow his best stretches have come both years after the Pacers have been eliminated from the playoffs and are killing their draft position. But, he's a cool guy to hang out with and can block shots all day - maybe another year of bulk will help.
No. That's Mark Blount
He is a third year C that is improving.
No doubt. But most of his improvement comes after the Pacers have already been eliminated from the playoffs. He starts the season strong, ends strong, and the middle of his season sucks, with occasional flashes of game in between. I got to watch him a ton in Indiana, and all the potential is there and the opportunity exists for him to become a legit starter in the league, but I don't know if he'll ever make the jump. The consistency just isn't there, and he's relatively slow/weak for a C.
