re: Frank Vogel said Hibbert is the 2nd best rim defender in the league...

I thought we were talking about being a rim protector

Roy hibbert faced 419 shots.
Of those 419, 54.4% were 'close range shots'.
Of those 228 attempts, 38.2% were made.
Totalling up to: 87 made shots out of 228 attempts

Dwight howard faced 409 shots.
Of those 409, 48.2% were 'close range shots'.
Of those 197 attempts, 45.7% were made.

Totalling up to: 90 made shots out of 197 attempts

So even though he makes them defer, which we all know he does, when he's tested, he actually allowed more shots than hibbert did although hibbert was tested more often.

i.e. you should attack the rim against howard more often than not.
