HYBRID
NBA ROLE: TWO-WAY POWER FORWARD
Over a decade in, Serge Ibaka continues to add value as a scorer & help shot-blocker; one of the game’s top Watch DOGs at his peak – didn’t send every shot flying but learned to defend without fouling & alter a ton of looks near the rim (lost a step in one-on-one D the past couple years, however); steady offensive presence: Serge’s bread & butter is his J – turnarounds, two-level pick & pops, spot up triples; knows how & when to get his points, learned to pick spots very effectively; adaptable: Serge alternates between starter & reserve – good for about 12-15 pts each night, helps set the tone up front; veteran leader*, floor spacer and glue guy – Serge’s experience aids MIL’s title efforts
*played pivotal role during Raps’ 1st title run
