Re: Does Dalembert have a future in Philly?
I think he made good strides this year. I also think that he is as you said more of a cleanup, alley oop near the rim, rebound and second chance guy. His jumper was solid this year, but I dont want him taking too many of those. I think he did an ok job defending detroit. Not great, not bad either. He didnt get much help when he stepped up to help out his teammates on defensive breakdowns. Hes alos one of the better centers in the east right now. Its not like we have many tough matchups for him in the conference, so I think hell probably be around for a couple years. No tto mention that decent big men are tough to come by.
Im not sold on hibbert to be honest. He gets by in college because he is so much bigger than other guys. But truth be told, he has bad coordination, hes slow and not very athletic. He's just tall. I have seen any real midrange touch so he will be firmly planted inside. Too early to tell if hes strong enough to use his college power moves against the big boys. If he's drafted to be an off the bench situational defensive guy, I could see that. But I honestly think Dalembert brings more to the table than Hibbert. I dont thtink his hands are any better than Sammy's, but he does pass better.
