His offense isn't good enough to rely upon, and he does turnover the ball alot, but his offense is underrated at times, mainly due to indiannas system of more or less feed the hot hand, or whoever has the best matchup offensively that night.

84-85 3 point? he shoots like 35% which is around league average
80 ball handling? i'll give you 70-75
85 defensive rebounding? 75-80
80-85 consistency???? He's one of the most unconsistent players in the game (among stars). If he's hot, he's hot; cold, cold. C'mon now, do you even watch Pacers games? And his offensive awareness should be lower because of he's turnover prone. And he only shoots 41% from the field, c'mon now.

If they didn't overrate his mid range game I have no problems with his rating. He will have some of the better defensive skills and defensive awareness. Then add that he shoots the threes well and will have high dunking vertical ratings. He is probably the third best Sg

A lot of people overrate his game offensively but he shines on defense

And Hibbert one is the lowest assisted centers in the league too. Hibbert's "low" FG% is more a result of him creating his own shots with post moves and hook shots. Most centers have higher FG% due to other players creating scoring opportunities for them. Chandler has a higher FG% than Hibbert, but what fool is going to argue that Chandler is the better "scoring" center? Hibbert is probably one of the last center's who can create his own offense with the ball in his hand.

If Indiana ever runs good pick and roll/screen plays for Hibbert, then his FG% is going to be scary. If anything, the Miami/Indiana series was glimpse into the future what a PG/Hibbert combo can do when they've able to give each other great scoring positions.

He had a TS% of 56.8 in 11-12. Which is above average. You say Hibbert's stats were skewed because of his injury (even though he played 79 matches). Well that doesn't mean you can give higher than an 80 until he proves it in the regular season. And he hasn't done that yet. If he builds on his postseason and has a great season, i'm sure he will justify upwards of an 85 rating. But he hasn't proved it yet. You can only go on what he has done so far, which is fairly an 80 at best.

This isn't the 11-12 season though. What more does Hibbert have to prove? Indiana is a low scoring offense TEAM, who's focus is DEFENSE first. If you're expecting Hibbert to score 20 PPG while grabbing 10 RPG, then you're going to be waiting a long time. Indiana is solid defensively and offensively at ALL positions. Indiana could be the only team in the league that could have 6 players in double digit scoring this season with PG being the highest at maybe 17 PPG.

Cant speak for Atlanta as I am a knicks fan but Hibbert abused chandler and an under sized heat team. I had watched chandler play hibbert all season and clearly something was wrong because hibbert was a NON factor in any of the knicks and pacers games in normal season. He was supposedly sick. but Hibbert did go off in the playoffs. Based off of playoffs alone he should have received a greater bump than Paul George did in my opinion. But seeing how pacers did well in the playoffs im pretty sure 2k will give them their just sig skills and stats to make their defense nice. and in 2k offense is what you make it in some aspects and with 2 people over an 80. your offense should be fine.

The last time Love played a significant amount of game and was healthy was 11-12. And he justified his rating that season (And in 10-11). Love was a poor analogy to choose.

Being a lowscoring team doesn't mean Hibbert deserves more than an 80 rating when he scores 11.9 points on 44.8% shooting. 44.8% as a center. If he plays better during the season, don't worry, his rating will quickly improve. But we haven't seen that in the regular season from him yet.
