I think Hibbert could be just fine next to Dirk... he guards the post well, blocks shots better than everyone on this roster (more blocks than Dally/Wright/Blair COMBINED and in 1500 fewer minutes) and along with those blocks, forces more misses just with his presence. If we could couple a Hibbert acquisition with getting one more quality perimeter defender (pairing with Marion at the 3), there's no reason we couldn't be a top-10 defense next season. Hibbert could absolutely transform this roster and our game plan, especially after Carlisle coached him up.
