Plaisted would be a much better choice than Hibbert. Plaisted's problem is that he cannot shoot. That can be learned. Athletically he is fine. Hibbert's problem is that he turns Yao Ming into Carl Lewis. His limitation can never be changed, and he will therefore always be worthless when it comes to the NBA.

Many college players have the same problem as Hibbert -- size and athleticism prevent them from playing in the NBA. Because Trent's limitations can be improved, and because of the derth of talented big men in the NBA, he has a much much better chance of sticking in the league than what most cougarboarders want to admit.
