Kevin Pelton: For people asking about Ngombo: If he's 26, he's already been automatically elgible for a draft at age 22, and is a free agent. about 1 hour ago

Kurt Helin: 21-year old Timberwolves draft pick Ngombo is actually 26 http://dlvr.it/Xhm7h #PBT #NBA about 1 hour ago

Jonathan Givony: It looks like even Qatar is lising Tanguy Ngombo as being born in 1984: http://bit.ly/m5NXPI - I don't think there's any way around this now about 2 hours ago

Jonathan Givony: Here is a direct link to the FIBA website archive with Tanguy Ngombo 's profile and date of birth: http://bit.ly/lxStcJ about 2 hours ago

Scott Schroeder: So it is Tanguy, not Targuy, and he's five years older than we thought. That's a doozie to the internet. about 3 hours ago

Scott Schroeder: Okay, guys, does this mean Tanguy was ineligible to be drafted? I mean, you can't just draft 26 year old Congolese dudes from Qatar, right? about 3 hours ago

Scott Schroeder: ! RT@Jonathan Givony Uh-oh, looks like our guy T'Wolves draft pick Tanguy Ngombo has been busted for lying about his age: http://bit.ly/kfxzqp about 3 hours ago

Jonathan Givony: Apparently this is a common practice in Qatar, used in order to naturalize African prospects and strengthen their national team. about 3 hours ago

Hopefully our Biyombo is really 18.

Wow, I've got a feeling that BB isn't 18... He seems too mature. As long as he isn't like 28 already I'm good. Just give us like 5 good years at the least.

But, in a way, it shows you what kind of politics and bullsh*t the NBA is on... It's not who you are, or what you do, it's who you know and who put your name out there...

If the guy was good enough to be drafted now, how'd he lay so low for almost 10 years?

When Biyombo got to Spain they took him to a doctor and had his growth plates in his wrist examined, they determined he was 17 at the oldest. So he's probably 18, maybe 19. There's a possibility he could get bigger, imagine him 2 years down the road :eek:

      BREAKING: Panthers signing a new QB

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's true. I did actually mean the FO but that's a fair point.

      A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.

      Bills predictions

      If you only factor passing, there is a VERY mild argument Dalton is more efficient but it's ignoring the threat Cam was as a big play literally every snap. With his feet OR through the air. Dalton was never that type of player. I would say Dalton over 200 is a very safe bet.
