Random thought: I wonder if guys like Hibbert (comparative to Len) and Tony Parker (comparative to Schroeder) being dominate in the playoffs are pushing these guys up?
There is somthing to this statement that seems right.
Hibbert falling to 17th still doesn't make sense. He was very good in college and is a huge body. Seems to improve every year. How was he not drafted higher

Scouts don't like Senior big men who doesn't rebound well and doesn't shoot well at the FT line. He was said to lack a ceiling and didn't do anything at an elite level. I think he finally took his craft seriously after his early struggles in the league. Definitely a better player than a lot of people thought.

I don't follow college much so this is just a guess. In the past few years he's finally become an adequate rebounder, but prior to that he was terrible for someone with his size advantage. He only averaged 6.4 boards in 26 minutes his last year in college which seems pretty terrible considering his size advantage would be even greater in the NCAA.

Roy Hibbert is 7'2" 280. Think about that.

He should be dominating the game. He's not even a top 10 center

Hibbert just looks like a guy that will end being a better pro than college player. He was good at Georgetown but not some dominant force.

He was ridiculously out of shape and would get winded with just a couple trips up and down the floor. He was also a stiff defensively, couldn't move his feet although he'd run into a few blocks per game based on his length. He moved around the way you'd figure a 7'2" guy would...not very well. He's just done a great job getting himself in great shape and working on his post game.
