Sorry yall, but im re-joining the dark side with Rev, I actually think it may be better to trade down a few spots or even if we get shafted out of the #1 (huge possibility) and fall to the 4 and grab Roy Hibbert.
We would have our own Roy "ROY" next year. A Hibbert/Big Al frontcourt provides a TON of offense and alot of pick and roll/pop situations which i see us being very good at with Foye/McCants/Telfair.
Welcome to the darkside, we have cookies.

Only in a perfect world lol. Hibbert would be ok, but Rose +Diop = playoffs next year and so on. I think Rose is a difference maker much like Al, plus Diop is is better than Hibbert in everything except offense..
Rose could be a difference maker, or he could take a year or 2 to learn the pro game. Or FOye could come back and play exactly like we need from the PG spot.
I actually like Hibbert better than Diop. Hibbert is 2-3 inches taller, offensively is night and day different. Diop blocks more shots, but Hibbert is a far better system defender, pick/roll defender and has a much high BBIQ. Neither is more than average of a rebounder. Both are good at getting their body on the other 5 to keep them off the glass. I think Hibbert can provide much of what Diop would provide at a cheaper cost and at 4-5 years younger. And let us look at the offense for a second. Hibbert is a very good passer, from both the post, high post and top of the key. He has a jumper that he is confident in that goes to 19 feet. He has moves and counter moves with both hands. He can make difficult lay-ups also. His "weak spot" is that he differs to teammates instead of taking over. Also he has only been playing ball for a couple years. Considered a project when he started at GT. He has shown the work ethich and desire to improve. Drafting Hibbert fills a serious need for now and the future. The Hibbert-Oden match up last year in college shows that they are an interesting Match and would help us against portland

In 12 years as Wolf, KG never played up an injury. He has no history of getting hurt in close or important games. The idea that KG was faking is ridiculous.
I agree completely. Lay of the KG hate guys. I know it is part of the grieving process and what he did might hurt, but get over it. DO NOT throw away the memory.
