I am not acting like he's washed up, nor have I said anything like that. I am glad you are sure you know what would have happened with a healthy Chandler; I do not think it is credible to say so in absolute terms. I believe that Hibbert is a much better player at this point in their careers, and that what likely would have changed if Chandler is healthy is that some of Hibbert's scoring opps would have gone elsewhere. That likely results in less efficiency for the Pacers, but I am not certain how much it would have changed the outcome since the Pacers had other strong matchups, too. So I'm not going to project the impact from that you are. You likely see a bigger change, so be it.
Chandler has almost no post game and has no mid-range game. If Bowiac's point is 'he dunks well when open' sure, but I think there is more to being an NBA inside player (and a finisher) than that.
I think Bowiac's question about the 2011-12 Knicks and Chandler is reasonable---he may well have been the second best guy on the 2012 Knicks---though that's a pretty strange roster and so I'm not sure whether it's more an endorsement or an illustration of his limits. My intent was to say Chandler has never been the second best guy on a good team, which certainly stands. He's not a guy you build around, he's a valuable supporting player. Nothing wrong with that, but also (to me) not a reason to suggest he changes the overall equation for last year's Knicks team. If Rondo and Chandler are both healthy I don't think they get out of the first round, so one has to assess health in both directions
