Best rim protector in the NBA: Bismack Biyombo

[bLACKpANTHER]

we will have to make a decision on Biz here in a year- to pick up the option of a $5 mil + salary to retain him

 

thats a steep price for a backup center, but hopefully he will keep getting better this year and make that decision easier for us

[bLACKpANTHER]

by the way- the only 6 guys i would rather have than Biz that were taken after him:

 

#7 - Biz

#8- Brandon Knight

#9- Kemba (doesnt count)

#10- Jimmer Fredette

#11- Klay Thompson

#12- Alec Burks

#13- M.Morris 1

#14- M.Morris 2

#15- Kawhi Leonard

#16- Nikola Vucevic

#17- Iman Shumpert

 

#19- Tobias Harris

#20- Donatas Montiejunas

 

#22- Kenneth Farried

 

#24- Reggie Jackson

#25- Marshon Brooks

 

#30- Jimmy Butler (gem in the 2nd)

 

#38- Chandler Parsons (gem in the 2nd)

 

#60 Isaiah Thomas

We already picked up the option, and Butler was a first rounder.

Klay and Kawhi are guys I'd rather have, sure, but I still like Biz's long-term projection. He's had three coaches and they all viewed him as a project, Silas even called him a 5-year experiment.

he's not even 22 yet

I hope we hang on to Biz. A couple of years with the same coaching staff and I think he will be an all around premier center in the league.

I wouldn't go back and take anyone picked after him over him now. He's in his 3rd year & he's still only 21 freaking years old. He's only been playing handball at any level for a few years.

Patrick Ewing was bright in bit only because MJ is his buddy, but he's gonna develop Biz & Cody. In 3-4 years he's gonna be the Rodman/Wallace of the league. He'll be the premiere shot blocker & rebounder in the NBA. And he'll still only be 24 years old. He'll be averaging 8-10 pts, 12 reb, 3 blocks per game as a 6th man.

Let the kid develop. All those other guys are older & pretty much a finished product. Biz will only get better & better.

That draft was terrible. Charlotte was brilliant in drafting Kemba & Biz.

I don't understand what people expected out of him.  When we drafted him, I don't remember anyone being excited for 15ppg+ or anyone that even had that notion.  Now all of a sudden people expect that?  He was NEVER drafted to be a scorer, the hope/ceiling was that he could get around 10ppg with putbacks and dunks.  He's not going to do a 15 foot fadeaway jumper.  He's not Chris Bosh.  He's a in your face defender that doesn't back down and plays hard.  He wouldn't even be out of normal college by now.   I promise you there would be a ton of teams offering him a contract right now, and I'm talking about contenders.  He's the type of guy you want on your team in the playoffs.

interesting numbers:

2011 --- 23.1 minutes played --- .464 FG% --- .483 FT% --- 5.8 rpg --- 1.8 bpg --- 0.0 3pt%

2012 --- 27.3 minutes played --- .451 FG% --- .521 FT% --- 7.3 rpg --- 1.8 bpg --- 0.0 3pt%

2013 --- 15.5 minutes played --- .645 FG% --- .528 FT% --- 5.3 rpg --- 1.3 bpg --- 0.0 3pt%

 

his minutes have been cut in half but his FG% jumped a ton, he has improved his FT every year and still a monster on the boards and still adjusting shots with half his minutes, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF - his 3pt FG% has been consistent throughout his career!!!
