My Take
Hibbert is the kind of player I always enjoyed watching because he made defense compelling. Standing 218 cm, the Georgetown center built his identity on rim protection, and that 2014 season where he finished runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year behind Joakim Noah was him at his peak with the Pacers. Two All-Star nods confirm he was more than a one-trick big man. I find his Jamaican-American background and Queens roots a nice reminder that NBA stories come from everywhere. He's the rare center whose value showed up in the shots that never happened. A defensive anchor I'd want on my team.
