What The Bucks Traded For (Part One)

Roy Hibbert

Once an anchor of a legitimate Eastern Conference contender in Indiana, Roy Hibbert has fallen off a long way since his days of being a two-time All-Star.

In a market that boasted rich and shiny new contracts for many of the league’s players, Hibbert was forced to take a gamble last summer in signing a cut-price one-year deal with the Hornets. The deal represented the former Georgetown Hoya betting on himself to command more this summer, and so far it hasn’t exactly gone to plan.

For the first time in his NBA career, Hibbert has been forced into coming off the bench. Averaging his lowest minutes total since his rookie season, Hibbert posted 5.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and a block in his 16 minutes per game in Charlotte.

Never blessed with the greatest mobility, time has not been kind to the 30-year-old. Still, in limited minutes he’ll offer rim-protection, his trademark verticality, great defensive awareness and always valuable experience to a young and struggling team.
