Doesn't matter what he deserves. Even if you believe he doesn't deserve it, he's a legit 7 footer, so he's going to get more than he deserves.
His scoring, rebounding (including offensive rebounding), blocks, and steals have improved each year he's been in the league.
He's improved his post moves & his face up game.
Also, he's yet to average 30 minutes per game for a season. Per 36, he's averaging 16 & 9 for his career and averaged 15.5 & 10.6 this past season.
He just averaged 11.7, 11.2, and 3.1 (blocks) in the postseason in 31 minutes per night.
He's going to get the Max, if not pretty damn close.
I am already on the books for raiding Hibbert, but we will not be alone. I would not be opposed to a heavy contract, as I think it is movable any road, but it really depends on the draft. If you wind up with Beal or MKG or Barnes for that matter, I think it makes a lot of sense. If you wind up with. t rob or Drummond it makes no sense.
We have talked about trading Andy for number seven, and swapping Portland 4 for 6 and 11. If we did that, we could easily wind up with Barnes, PJIII, and Jeremy Lamb. Sign Hibbert to that team as well, and it's Katie bar the door, IMHO.
