Givony agrees

"I can block shots, I can rebound, I play intense, I play hard," Biyombo said this week at a Bobcats pre-draft workout.

He knows he's not a scorer, but with coaching he can only improve that part of his game

I know bobcats fans are really excited about this kid being a "instant huge defensive presence"

I wish the Jazz had traded Kanter for this guy and grabbed another asset in the process. It's going to be fun to watch him develop. His defense will be gargantuan and I'll bet that more than a few will have to reassess their "no offensive game whatsoever" comments. I'm predicting 2.5 blocks, 8 rebounds, 11 ppg, 25 mpg in his first season.

Only if he averages 20 shot attempts. If it isn't the highest risk/reward pick of the lottery, it's certainly up there. Could go either way.

Seriously? Kanter for Bismack? Well, you will always have a job working for Sacramento, the Clippers or Minnesota. That is ridiculous idea.

I agree that it's ridiculous if you leave out my "and add another asset in the process" comment. It wouldn't be so ridiculous if you ended up landing Bismak and a future first rounder... but if you think your amendment to my idea could land me a job as a GM maybe I should take it and run.

2 put backs per game, two fast break layups or dunks, then mix in another basket or a couple of free throws. He's never going to take anything near 20 shots. I admit that my number is on the high-side of his first year potential but I'm sticking with it.
 
I'm predicting a stay in the D-League for Biyombo, followed by a non-tender, and a name mentioned with Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison for Michael Jordan draftees.

Your entitled to your own opinion but I'm telling you Biyombo will be a defensive stand out.

That Favors kid is a pretty good defender. Kanter will be a beast on the inside.

Agree. Favors and Kanter have more complete games. Kanter isn't a shot-blocker, but I think we can all agree that stat is WAY over-rated. Jazz were actually one of the best shot-blocking teams in the NBA last season. With Favors, Kanter and Jefferson, the Jazz will have 3 bigs who are excellent rebounders. That was something missing last year. Hopefully the Jazz can also get better rebounding from the SF and SG spots.
 
Hey, Joe...I hope you don't mind, but I stole your name to use on a template for work. Had to remove the actual name from an Excel sheet and insert an alias. I thought Joe Bagadonuts was much better than John Doe. And it was...I got a few laughs. I owe you one and will give you rep for it.
 
I like Biyombo and I hope he does well. However, trading down is rarely a good idea when you are at the top of the draft. If the Jazz had stayed at 6 I might have taken a chance on him but once the Jazz moved up to three there was really no chance of the Jazz getting Biyombo.

meh. we've Sene his type before.

"Saer Sene couldn't get off the bench for Pepinster, the worst team in Belgium. Bismack Biyombo plays for a playoff team in Spain."

"For those saying Bismack Biyombo is just another Saer Sene, he's been doing this same stuff for a while now in the ACB. Totally different."
