A couple of years ago, Andrea Bynum would have been the clear favorite. Then again, with the way his body is declining and with how Hibbert has improved immensely, Hibbert has already surpassed the Glass.

If you look at the numbers:

Hibbert's 15 and 9 averages this year are almost identical to Bynum's 15 and 8 numbers from last year.

Then again, Hibbert has played more games than the Glass despite the fact that the Glass entered the league a full season ahead of him.

To add insult to injury, Hibbert hasn't played in a single playoff game in his entire career.

To date:

Hibbert: 171 Games
Bynum: 150 Games

Who would you pick?

There's a difference between putting up 15 and 9 on a bad team and doing it on a championship team with two other talented big men.

All Glass has to do is wait for the ball as Pau or Odom gets double-teamed. Add Bryant into the equation and Bynum will have a virtually uncontested shot almost every time.

I know Hibbert dumped on Duncan earlier this year, just like he did to Pau last season.

Bynum, however, made Hibbert look like a clueless D-leaguer when they matched up. :lol

More curious to how many championships Pau has in 4 years. Odds are, more than Duncan.

The great thing about having a 23 year old with 20/10 potential is you can trade a guy like Pau when he gets old. Whereas when Duncan retires, the franchise is toast.

Hibbert's looking pretty good this year and I gladly give him his props because he deserves it. I didn't think he had it in him but he's very capable of being a legit center at this level.

But the real question is does blindly evaluating stats = better?

The answer is always no.

Hibbert is a bit taller but Bynum is wider, stronger and heavier. That matters for the Lakers because they need that type of center who can't be pushed around down low to offset the imbalance Pau Gasol typically delivers.

Having two 7 foot waifs in the middle would not be ideal which is why Bynum gets the nod over Hibbert.

Stats are irrelevant here, they're both in completely different situations..

If they're healthy, I would go with Bynum..other than passing, he's better at everything..his post moves are a lot more advanced, he's a slightly better defensive player, he's a better rebounder, he has the physical advantages everywhere..

The question is obviously whether Bynum's advantage over Hibbert negates the fact that he's almost guaranteed to miss a large portion of the regular season, and be physically limited during the playoffs..I would say that no, they don't negate it, so the safe bet would be Hibbert..

Last I checked, Bynum is listed at 285 while Hibbert is 278. A seven-pound difference is irrelevant when you talk about seven-footers.

I'm not going to be bias. But I'd honestly take Roy Hibbert. Now I'll be honest, Andrew Bynum's the better player, I'm not trying to say he's not. But Hibbert's a good athlete, has the midrange in his arsenal now, and is a legit NBA center. I'd be too worried about Bynum getting hurt, if I had the guarantee that neither would get injured I'd take him. But Hibbert's a safer option and he's still a solid player.

Bynum's averages are 10 and 6 in his entire career. In his three-year stint in the league, he has played a grand total of 150 games including the playoffs.

I wouldn't want to bet on him being a 20 and 10 guy in the future if he can't even play 82+ games in a single season.

That's the reason why franchise players and all-time greats such as Duncan and Kobe have been very successful. They don't only post superior numbers, they're very durable as well.

Unfortunately, superior numbers/stats and durability are two things that Bynum will never ever develop.

At best, he'll be a longer, stronger, but less durable Elden Campbell.

That's the reason why franchise players and all-time greats such as Duncan and Kobe have been very successful. They don't only post superior numbers, they're very durable as well.

Unfortunately, superior numbers/stats and durability are two things that Bynum will never ever develop.

At best, he'll be a longer, stronger, but less durable Elden Campbell.

Fail. how long have you been watching the nba bro?

This post is about 2 months too early. After seeing how Bynum will play 1 month from now and considering Phil Jackson is going to want to take the load off of the 38mpg he's been playing Odom and Gasol, the jury is still out...

I'd probably pick Hibbert, because he's proven to be more durable so far, but Bynum is easily the superior player.

He can't stay healthy and he plays with two elite players and another All-Star caliber player, so he never get's to be the player he's capable of being even when healthy. But on a lot of teams, he'd put up monster numbers.

I'm not sure, even if he were healthy for an extended period and in good shape, his conditioning would allow for him to play more than 30-32 mpg max, but I still think he could approach 20 ppg and be over 10 rpg and 2 bpg, in those minutes. If he could play 35 mpg, there's no question he could average 20/12/2.5 and be hands down the second best true center in the game...unless Yao miraculously get's and stays healthy and works his way back to the player he was a few years ago.

Last I checked, Bynum is listed at 285 while Hibbert is 278. A seven-pound difference is irrelevant when you talk about seven-footers.

You can't seriously think there is a 7 pound difference between them. Open your eyes. :lol
