DALLAS — Indiana Pacers forward Paul George recently told a website that he would like to “pick (the) brain” of LeBron James.
In a league where opposing players fraternize and work out together, Roy Hibbert does not often spend time with rivals. However if he had to pick a mentor for his game, Hibbert would seek out fellow All-Star big men.
“Probably Brook (Lopez),” Hibbert said. “He can find ways to score but (for) defending, Tim (Duncan).
Though Lopez has not played with the Brooklyn Nets since December, out with a season-ending broken foot injury, he has established himself as one of the best centers in the league. Lopez has averaged 18 points in his career. Against Hibbert and the Pacers, Lopez has scored just as well, averaging 20 points over the past four regular-season meetings. Pacers assistant coach Popeye Jones worked in Brooklyn last season and has instructed Hibbert on some knowledge about Lopez.
“Brook can score inside and out,” Hibbert said. “(So) whatever I can take from Popeye about Brook, I’ll take into my game.”
Though Hibbert respects Lopez’s skills, he may not be as willing as George to actually reach out to a rival for mentorship.
“I don’t really hang out with a lot of NBA players,” said Hibbert, who has worked out with Duncan in the past. “I just keep to myself but it’ll probably be Tim and Brook.”
