View Full Version : Thunder: Just how overrated is Serge Ibaka?

I think we all understand that while blocked shots are nice, generally it's not a good indicator that a guy is a solid defender. Ibaka is a prime example imho. I think this guy is a shitty, shitty man defender with horrific basketball IQ, but he blocks alot of shots so he gets overrated as some elite defender. This video nicely summarizes just how overrated Ibaka is.
He's guarding Battier, finds himself in the low post area with Perkins and then COMPLETELY FORGETS HIS ASSIGNMENT because all he's focused on now is anticipating a move by LeBron and blocking the shot. Nevermind that Durant is already doubling him, and Perkins is already down low to help. Thus Battier gets wide open for a 3.

The sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while. Ibaka won't be able to have that kind of consistent success offensively for the long haul. And defensively his singular focus on blocking shots and doing shit else will kill the Thunder.

tbh, solid shot blocking has always been a premium in this league. See Big Ben who was arguably even worse offensively. I agree Serge is a low IQ player though, and he looks a lot better than he is by playing with the likes of Durant.

Ben Wallace did more than just block shots tho. He was also a solid man defender down low and a far better rebounder.

Harden is capable of being clutch for Oklahoma City, but the entire world witnessed how he collapsed during the NBA Finals. The guy is good, but he isn't worth a huge contract by any means. Ibaka, while having his own deficiencies, is a more important player for the Thunder than Harden.

Yeah but what does that matter if Ibaka just leaves his assignment and the guy gets a wide open shot? Not every team can execute like Miami so he'll have plenty of nights where he looks impressive, but in key situations I think Ibaka hurts his team defensively far more than he helps them.

Harden >>> Ibaka
Ibaka getting DPOY votes is a joke. He's a poor post defender who is too weak to play long minutes at center ... despite the fact that just about every other power forward in the league nowadays can also play center.
His blocks are useful and he's good offensively when he's 3423234234-for-3423234234 on outside jumpers (:pctoss) but he'll never be an offensive force.
All that said, 4 years for ~$50 million wasn't a horrible overpay by the Thunder. That's pretty much the going rate for a young bigman with any plus skill.
Hes the best shot blocker in the game, and he probably alters a bunch more too. He can definitely be stupid even with the shots he blocks as a bunch of them are recovered by the opposing team....but if he ever realizes this or gets a decent coach to instill this in him he could be a defensive monster. Hes already a better offensive player than Big Ben ever was too.

yep, he alters a TON of shots which was very apparent when we faced them in the first round this year. the downside is that he also gives up a lot of bonehead plays too..like the play in the OP. he's still young and at the end of the day it doesn't quite offset just how many shots he not only blocks but ALTERS. imo, he's an above average defensive player with potential to become elite (if he can just increase his defensive awareness and improve his positioning rather than go for the block every time, know WHEN to go for it and when to use positioning) but that's just potential he'll still need a great defensive coach to help him get there.

^^^Agree with all of these.
Serge's ass was sunburned that series. People tend to overrate hyper aggressive shot blockers that contribute little else (see Marcus Camby). I'd like to have him on the Spurs, but I think he's overrated and partly just because of how good Durant is, he's actually lifted the team to receive kudos they otherwise wouldn't get. RW deserves some credit for that as well.

I think he's only overrated depending which camp you're coming from. If you're one of those thinking that he's a candidate for DPOY then he's terribly overrated..but to most intelligent basketball fans who appreciate him as an average man defender, above average team defender who alters many shots while grabbing rebounds and hitting the open j then he's not overrated at all. It's all about perspective.

Although I think he is overrated, I can understand why he got that much loot from OKC. He still has a high ceiling IMO. His jumper is improving, he's a so-so rebounder, but he is a great weakside swatter. Just like KG before him, when teammed with Porkins, low post scoring could be at a premium. He gave Pau fits and I didn't really see Bynum dominate Porkins. This negated our biggest advantage: our size.
Anyway, I wouldn't really roast him for losing a perimeter player in traffic. Bigs aren't really adept at checking perimeter players (there are few exeptions). Now if Shane posted him up or scored a winning layup on him (in the paint) then that is inexcusable.
I'd personally love to see him paired with D12 in 2014 when the Lakers have mega cap room again. :)

Lost him in traffic? Battier was the only guy on Miami even moving :lol Ibaka lost track of him because he was focused on swatting LeBron and didn't give a shit about his defensive assignment, not because he lost him in traffic. It's not like Battier was running through screens Ray Allen style.

Son, Camby winning DPOY in '07 was a joke... should have gone to Duncan (Nuggets were 11th in defensive rating, and the Spurs were 2nd).
Plus, Ibaka isn't even a great defensive rebounder like Camby is.

I'm so glad that he got that huge deal (although I was hoping the Lakers could snatch him up when cap room will be available in 2014, but I digress). This tweet is the truth:
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Harden wants to stay. OKC's star trio legitimately tight. But would you, at 23, take less than max if you knew you could get max elsewhere?
Being tight with your teammates is one thing. Throwing away million$ is another. Oh, and Cuban just might turn OKC into another Laker farm team:
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
I know at least two teams near OKC (Houston & Dallas) that are huge Harden fans and will have cap space to sign him to loaded offer sheet
If they offer him the max, will OKC match - or more importantly, can they afford to, and if so, for how long? So who knows, maybe we pair Ibaka up with D12 in 2014 or 2015 afterall (see my avatar if you doubt the possiblity of that happening :lol).

LkrFan (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=18824): So do you want an unclutch flopper to replace Kobe?
He wouldn't replace Kobe, he'd be replacing Pau. He's made improvements in his game since his rookie year and I would expect that to continue.
Kobe, by what I'm reading, will be retiring when his current KT is up in 2014. It will be a sad day too. We've watched him come in the league as a skinny 17-year old and work on his game so much that he is now a first ballot HOFer. But, like Magic before him there will be another superstar in LA (Howard). When Howard retires, there will be another.
Back on topic. Ibaka will go through his growing pains now. Play well enough to get paid. Then when either the team can no longer afford him or he becomes disgruntled (see Pau in 2008 ;)), LA will be waiting for him with open arms and deep pockets. :lol
I thought you were talking about Harden.
But Ibaka doesn't strike me as superstar material. Can't reliably drive or post up, but he's amazing as a secondary piece. Pair him with a dominant perimeter player or a good big who can create his own shot and he's golden.

I think we all understand that while blocked shots are nice, generally it's not a good indicator that a guy is a solid defender. Ibaka is a prime example imho. I think this guy is a shitty, shitty man defender with horrific basketball IQ, but he blocks alot of shots so he gets overrated as some elite defender. This video nicely summarizes just how overrated Ibaka is.
He's guarding Battier, finds himself in the low post area with Perkins and then COMPLETELY FORGETS HIS ASSIGNMENT because all he's focused on now is anticipating a move by LeBron and blocking the shot. Nevermind that Durant is already doubling him, and Perkins is already down low to help. Thus Battier gets wide open for a 3.

I still think Ibaka is way overrated, but clearly he's a better defender than I give him credit for. He does more than just troll for blocks these days. Although tbh only the Spurs could be so thoroughly owned by one role player coming back from injury. Also, this just further proves what a mentally weak beta Durant is. He can't control his sidekick, and can't perform without his bodyguard by his side. And it also further proves that Brooks is a bottom-5 coach in this league for not being able to make the adjustments and create an effective gameplan without a #3 role player.

How many easy points in the paint did y'all get? Hint: your best post player shot 37.5% and was -14. :downspin:

1) We'll get a good player. I'll settle for Vonleh, Smart or Randle. One of those 3 will be available at 7
2) The EC was weak in 2007 too. ;)
3) The Kang has help. They so deep that STD-Wade missed 28 games and they still were 2nd seed

"With the 7th overall pick in the NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select..... Doug McDermott!"
Hes the best shot blocker in the game, and he probably alters a bunch more too. He can definitely be stupid even with the shots he blocks as a bunch of them are recovered by the opposing team....but if he ever realizes this or gets a decent coach to instill this in him he could be a defensive monster. Hes already a better offensive player than Big Ben ever was too.

Yes. I seem to remember a time you were asked to put your money where your mouth was with regards to basketball and lost.

True. I had forgotten that. That was a sucker bet on my part. But even the great ones are wrong sometimes tbh.
