Yardbarker: Roy Hibbert

NBA Draft Bullets

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:32:51 -0500

I can't say that I have a ton of great insight into the draft, but I've been studying up for the last couple of days and I need somewhere to put my thoughts, so here is a bullet list. Feel free to use this as a conversation jumping off point. Chances are you'll teach me something. Rose vs. Beasley: I'd take Rose number 1 because he's the safer pick and because he's a point guard. You can always find a power forward, but great points don't come along very oft...

From Final Four caliber to much ado about nothing, the Hoyas complete a season of high expectations and fairly middlin' performances appropriately. Throughout the year, they won close too often, never establishing the interior dominance that anointed the slim shoulders of Roy Hibbert in the preseason.

Coming Back Strong

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 03:33:59 -0500

I'm about as confident in this one as Roy Hibbert is tall. The 7'2" Hoya center is an absolute force down low. The immovable object. While he'll have his hands full with Crimson Tide center Richard Hendrix, I have a feeling the big man will step up and take over in the second half.

Picks to Play: 11/28

Georgetown (3-0) @ Old Dominion (3-3) While Old Dominion has played the sleeper in years past and actually beat Georgetown in D.C. by 13 last year, the Hoyas are hungry and ready for revenge. The Monarchs have absolutely no chance of containing 7′2″ center Roy Hibbert, who is averaging 17 points on shooting 63% from the field. Coach Thompson will make sure the big man gets the ball as much as possible down in the paint. Georgetown covers easily winning by at least 15 points. Just imagine if Jeff Green stayed in school..
