It seems like forever since the former All-Star has been an exciting fantasy player to own – but this preseason Hibbert has looked rejuvenated. He has been rebounding the ball at a tremendous rate for the Lakers – averaging 10.4 rebounds in just 25.3 minutes. Minutes should not be an issue as Hibbert, as the back-up trio of Robert Sacre, Tarik Black, and Robert Upshaw don't appear to be serious threats to Hibbert's role in the rotation.
While Hibbert's FG% may not be terrific for someone that's over 7 feet tall, his ability to block shots and pull down boards makes him an intriguing prospect for this upcoming season. He doesn't have the same issues at the charity stripe that plague many of the league's other leading shot-blockers, which should make him a great late-round pick up. Don't hesitate to draft him outside of the top 100.
