the parts that stand out most to me...

In 14 ACB games, Bismack averaged 6.4 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.3 bpg, 55% FG pct and 55% FT pct in just 17 mins per.

here are Ibaka's numbers from when he played in the ACB: 7.1 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.0 bpg, 55% FG pct and 72% FT pct in 16 mins per. Ve

Biyombo averaged similar offensive #'s but also over a full block more than Ibaka in the same amount of minutes. We are talking about a guy that was 3rd in blocks in the NBA last year.

Clearly, Biyombo is the best defensive big in this draft. Biyombo can immediately pay dividends on the defensive end in the NBA and projects to be a major defensive force in the future.

There really is no comparison on the defensive end to the other big man prospects.

As much as Biyombo's ability to alter shots off-ball is great, it's his ability to change them on the ball that was especially impressive. Of the 21 charted defensive post plays for Biyombo on Synergy Sports Technology, he blocked 6-7 shots on the ball and severely altered 3-4 more shots. Nasty. Granted, a limited sample size, but still nasty.

Overall, Biyombo's post defense was stellar this year. On those aforementioned 21 post plays, his opponents managed to shoot just 22% (according to Synergy).

If he doesn't block the shot he'll surely alter it. just 22% against is a insane defensive number.

Biyombo might struggle a little adjusting to defending NBA talent, which is expected of any newcomer. But he will be much more prepared than any college prospects to defend against NBA offenses thanks to his time dealing with the talent and precision of many of the ACB teams.

College can be overrated, Biyombo is more NBA ready than a lot of guys.

I do understand the apprehension some NBA decision-makers have about Biyombo. Biyombo only has one season of substance under his belt, and that was only 15 games. And his rawness on the offensive end gives you pause. He needs a ton of polishing on the offensive end and he might always be a big liability.

But Biyombo's elite physical skills allow him to wreak havoc on defense and the boards much like Ben Wallace. And he's proven his worth against serious competition in Spain.

Those of us who are Biyombo fans understand the level of defense he can bring to a basketball court. Always good to see more people realizing the same.

Actually, i think College is better test. With the number of Euro busts over the years, plus watching video (me that is) this year of all these guys, i think Euro ball is soft D. College ball is good D.

But with respect to Biyombo, if he is a special athlete, then THAT is an NBA quality and if it is coupled with some BB IQ he will be a player - i buy into the rule of thumb that rebounding is a direct translatable skill to higher leagues from lower leagues. This is becuase the BBIQ of timing, anticipation, ect, are with you or they are not. (Milsap compared to Araujo)

Agreed. I know I sound like a broken record but the Favors-Biyombo combo could be scary on defense especially given how strong both of them are from a physical and basketball iq standpoint on that end already at such a young age. Favors was the youngest guy in the league last year and Biyombo's even younger. Those too with a long Jefferson and a busting his *** Millsap could be scary, especially if Millsap can improve, maybe shed a few pounds to better suit playing the 3, and improve his shooting some.
 
God I really like Kanter but I think dropping a spot or two and getting Knight along with Biyombo later on makes more sense. T minus 116 hours and 42 minutes.
 
Bb not getting an invite is good for odds at getting him at 12. Knight and bb would be atremendous draft and fits our needs at getting more athletic and longer. Favors, hayward, bb and knight running the court together is scary. Throw in barnes or gilchrist and we have a contender in three years.
 
I'd rather have Knight and Biyombo than Kanter and Jimmer. Wow, that could be quite the polarizing statement ..
 
Kanter and Jimmer = the least defensive/athletic combination you could get in the Jazz's range.

Knight and Biyombo = the most defensive/athletic combination you could get in the Jazz's range.
 
For me, getting Bismak is priority one in this draft. I'd like to see the Jazz draft Kanter in the three spot and then trade with someone in the 5 to 9 range to pick up Biyombo and an asset. If they do this I'm even on board if they take Jimmer at 12. In fact, I'll enjoy watching opposing guards run past Ferdetter only to come face to palm with Smack.

And he did it while a year younger than Ibaka, which is significant. Biyombo will be a very good defensive big in NBA.
