Heard or read something from Zach Lowe recently that despite his poor rebounding numbers for a guy his size, his team rebounds much, much better when he's on the floor than when he's not. Eating up bodies is a real thing, though the Korver thing was rather embarrassing.

I thought he was regarded as a premier shot alterer (I made that word up) based on his size and jumping ability. | ||

It's hard for everyone to disconnect his abilities there from his real struggles on the offensive end (which have been even more of a challenge lately). In general I don't think Hibbert has a 'quick' jump and that makes him vulnerable on the offensive side. Indiana is a mess. | ||

I thought he was regarded as a premier shot alterer (I made that word up) based on his size and jumping ability. Yeh. George, West, Hibbert and Stephenson all average over 6.5 boards so it's not a problem for them just felt like randomly throwing it out there. He's a good "shot alterer", but it's not because of jumping ability. He has poor athleticism. He's a huge guy with good timing and typically good positioning as well, that's enough to alter shots at his huge size. And yeh he avoids fouling too. | ||

Equality through mediocrity or something. What was most frustrating about the OKC MEM game was good it could have been, and how much the constant, endless stoppages ruined it. How many timeouts, replay reviews of obvious shit did we have? I would be interested in seeing a real-time vs time-playing (including inbounding/foulshots as game-time) breakdown of the end of that game because it felt absurd. | ||
