The Pacers need to just start 23-year old center Roy Hibbert and start playing him 30+ minutes a night. He is a huge man at 7′2″, 278 pounds and he can throw his weight around inside. Hibbert played in 81 games (69 starts) for the Pacers last season and he averaged 25.1 minutes, 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocked shots per night. He has now played in 151 games (110 starts) in his two years with the Pacers and he has averaged 20.2 minutes, 9.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocked shots per game. The Pacers need to quit jerking Hibbert around and let him play.

The Indiana Pacers have acquired the 57th overall pick (2nd round) of the NBA Draft later this month from the Mavs to complete the Eddie Jones and Shawne Williams trade. Players can be found in the 2nd round so the Pacers need to do their homework on this one. The Pacers need all of the help that they can get.
