Biyombo = Sene = Thabeet = Okafur = Whiteside= desperate NBA teams reaching for the ellusive athletic big man to lead you to the promised land.

Wow, no way. I really dont understand the Evans love. Sure he is a great dunker, a guy who can jump really high. Thats all he will ever be in the NBA, Im sorry to disappoint y'all. He is 22, his body isnt going to gain that much more weight. Biyombo is an 18 year old man who get bigger and better.

Every time I read one of your posts, I realize more and more that your avatar is probably your most recent DMV picture.
 
Byiombo's agent had his age checked by wrist exams (standard procedure with several soccer players from Africa) in Spain and his growth plates weren't fused yet. They lock together at the age of 18 (approximatelly). So the kid seems to be legit with his age. And he has a 7'7'' wingspan and a 9'3'' standing reach. For all the talk about Sene and those guys...well none of them did what Byiombo is already doing in Spain.
 
I heard Horny say on the radio that Evans is a very good shooter and beats Hayward in many three-point contest. I think his real position is at SF. I think he can gain weight/strength and he could be a good bench player...as long as Portland doesn't offer him 5 years 85 million dollars.
 
Positionally, they're not equal, so any other comparison is kind of moot. Biyombo is PF/C and Evans is SF/PF. Different athletically. Different bodies. Not the same at all.

This. Evans is lucky to be in the league. If he works his a** off, he might become like a Nicolas Batum-type SF. Biyombo could be a guy that averages 2.5 blocks and 11 boards like Ben Wallace did and be a one-man help defense crew with better offense than Ben Wallace had.
