Bold Prediction : Roy Hibbert Defensive Player of the Year

[imnew09]

This offseason he lost some weight, put up some good muscle, gained some speed. :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Spurs m8]

Bold...the gentle synonym of absurd, moronic, idiotic.

[kennethgriffin]

that award is reserved for 50+ win teams


lakers will be lucky to break .500

[Naero]

He'll definitely anchor improvements to the Lakers' historically porous defense, but the last legitimate shot at him to DPoY-contend for the reward legitimately was probably two seasons ago.

In the wake of the Warriors' championship with small-ball-scheme team, that play-style to come into vogue and for more teams to be adoptive of it; if so, the plodding Roy Hibbert won't be agile enough to react well to floor-stretching big-men that are bound to become more ubiquitous in the game.

Moreover, with Byron Scott's ineffectual defensive schemes, Roy Hibbert won't be put in the best position to maximize his DPoY-contending defense, nor will it even be underscored because the Lakers won't tote the reputation of a defensive team for DPoY-voters to stay attentive to.

the "kobe assist" % is about to go down

[Clifton]

I do think people are underestimating Hibbert. Having a 7' guy in the middle who knows how to jump straight up is huge. His attitude is questionable, but on the right coach and with the right teammates he could be very valuable.

I don't think the Lakers are that team, though

I like what you try to do. But when you try to sound like the most intelligent/grammatically correct/whatever goal you're aiming for... at least do it right, and leave out obvious mistakes. That's the least you can do.

I gave up on him after the 0point/0assist game. I just don't get how a 7 ft player can have that happen. There is something wrong upstairs and if he's mentally fragile I doubt playing with Kobe helps.

[Dr Hawk]

He might lead in RPG or ORPG thanks to Kobe, even though his rebounding sucks. That says a lot about BrickBe.

[Uncle Drew]

Gobert has that thing on lock for the coming years.

You don't get named DPOY on a losing team.

[senelcoolidge]

the lakers will be terrible and part of it is because they are terrible defensively. So I don't see this happening. On a bad team like the lakers Hibbert's number should go up a little.

It really is quite entertaining.

[TheMarkMadsen]

nah we won't be nearly good enough for him to win that award

if we were in the east though I think we would make the playoffs comfortably at the 7th or 8th seed

[eeeeeebro]

hes gonna get like + 3 offensive rebounds per game from all the bricks kobe will be throwing all year

The kobrick assist.

[FireDavidKahn]

It's Rudy Gobert's to lose.

Gobert has that thing on lock for the coming years.

There's no locks but he certainly has to be the odds on favorite. Might win the rebounding title and be the leading shot blocker.

Ha...I've never seen these larry bird gifs...you can just see how much he wishes he was 20 or so years younger and go out there and show these youngsters how to ball. He would pretty easily be the best player in the league if you took him from 86 and inserted him into this league.

[Xiao Yao You]

Hibbert is the one guy Gobert had problems with last year though. Looking forward to them going at it again in a couple weeks in Hawaii.

[outbreak]

So this off season we've had people say kobe russel clarkson and randle will all be all stars, hibbert will be dpoy and upshaw will be defensive second team.

No excuses!

I think the first one is from the '13 ECF.
