Roy Hibbert or Andrew Bynum?

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.

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.

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.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas anyone?

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.
