2011 draft.....

There are too many tempting yet imperfect players in this draft. And the safer ones have a lower ceiling. So I've been looking at prospects and looking at prospects and looking at prospects and now I'm going a little crosseyed. While I find myself favoring certain players over others ultimately I'm pretty flummoxed. I gotta just trust KOC. He knows better than I do.

But if he chooses one of the guys I haven't fallen in love with then I'll demand his head.
 
I actually don't think Montalekrjekrnelrkejre is going to be a bust....

I'm just not sure if he's ever really going to be that good... Wang Zuzu anyone? Maybe Matt Bonner?

Perhaps the best case scenario would be Memo?

I would say his best case is Pau Gasol with more range. He is that skilled. It's just a question of his toughness (just like Gasol).

A more athletic version of Memo would not be such a bad pick at 12 if we go with Knight at 3.

I've always been a big fan of Donatas and think he could really help space the floor for Big Al,Millsap and Favors. I compared him awhile back to a more athletic Memo with a decent handle. The concern I have with him is character and defense. The other concern was weight but it looks like he gained quite a bit of muscle already. Kind of funny the 2 guys I've defended in Jordan Hamilton and Donatas both have character issues and defensive issues
 
Unfortunately, I am listening to 1280 right now, and their guest thinks if Kemba is there at 8, Detroit will jump on him. That would probably drop Bismack to 12 for all you B lovers.

Bismack By The Numbers: A Comparison To The Top NCAA Bigs In The Draft
by Mac_Diego on Jun 9, 2011 7:34 PM MDT

Okay, same idea here as the Derrick Favors spreadsheet (here, in case you missed it), but this is one is definitely less intense.

Each comparison is broken down into a per-minute number and then a ratio is calculated. If Biyombo's per-minute number is as good as the comparison player, the number is ≥ 1 and the box is green. If not, the box is red.

I found stats from 3 different teams for Biyombo: CB Illescas Urban CLM, Illescas, and Fuenlabrada. I don't know enough about Spanish basketball to know the difference between the first two teams (or even if they are different teams), but I do know that Fuenlabrada is the top level of the Spanish League, and like it's been said, they would dominate any team in the NCAA (so look at these numbers with that in mind––especially Kenneth Faried's).

The top table is all of Biyombo's game stats that I could find, so you can look through them and see his progression throughout his career.

Looking at these numbers with the level of competition in mind, it's probably safe to conclude that Biyombo would have been a shot-blocking nightmare in the NCAA. He also would have likely been one of top rebounders in the country.

Here is the table: RIGHT HERE!!!

Happy discussing.

I wasn't able to attach the comparison so you'll have to go to the webpage to see it but it freaked me out that Biyombo was inferior in every category (except blocks) to Faried.
