Drafted in 2008, current Lakers’ big man Roy Hibbert is an outlier in the modern NBA. Unlike most, Hibbert completed four years of college before making the jump to the pros.
With that in mind, it was not long ago that Roy Hibbert was an NBA All Star who, alongside Paul George and David West, led the Indiana Pacers to the best record in the Eastern Conference. Heck, the league even had to reopen the rule book to justify Hibbert’s style of defense, dubbed the verticality rule.
So the question must be asked, what is responsible for Hibbert’s fall from grace?
