Based off what, exactly?
Plus he can't jump all that high
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.
How do you 'rep' people? Sorry for being a neophyte on this, but I haven't found that button yet.
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.
Am I crazy for wanting to take Biyambo at 6 if Knight isn't there?

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.

It might just be me but all these scouts are drooling over Biyombo. But I believe we already have a guy like this in Evans. Biyombo looks stronger but Evans is probably more polished on the offensive side which isnt saying much.
I think Evans should be our project player and keep him. Because if the Jazz select Biyombo its probably bye bye Evans. There just too similar of players.
Also I believe Biyombo = Sene.
