This is an absolute nightmare for an opposing offense.
 
At 18 years old, this kid weighs in at 240, has a 9' 3" standing reach, footspeed and coordination to stay with guards, incredible athleticism, off-the-charts defensive instincts, and production to show for it. A dead-end if you think you're going to get a mismatch on a pick-and-roll.

P.S. This is all BEFORE the Hoops Summit. Highlights show what a person does the best, and comparing apples to apples, a highlight film has not made me this hard in a long, long time. You can't spin what his feet and reach are able to do in this. Insane.
P.P.S. AGGRESSIVE.
P.P.P.S. SMART.
P.P.P.P.S. NIGHTMARE.
 
I'm still not sold on this kid. Watching that highlight reel was like watching me dominate my kids on the 8 foot hoop out front. Kind of hard to get excited about a guy blocking six foot flat white guys scoop layups (which is another thing Jimmer will struggle with, those scoop shots are highlight reels waiting to happen) and six foot six inch centers getting their fadeaway jumpers blocked. Reminded me a lot of Evans.

Isn't the Hoops Summit the same event everyone keeps writing Kantor off on because it is just a glorified "all-star" game? If so, if Bismack was the only trying on defense, it definitely makes those numbers not look as impressive.

I'm just not sold on him. Too much hype, not enough substance.
 
Saer Sene had better highlights, more credentials, taller, and higher standing reach.

Then again Serge Ibaka wasn't exactly the Lebron James of Africa.

More than raw.

The majority of his blocks came from cheat defense, and will lead to easy, assisted layups in the NBA. He plays AK's game, but is slower and less skilled.

Some women have future back problems. Well, Bismack has future knee problems since he punches them when he runs. But those long arms are fun to watch swat balls.

The vid ended in man hugs and NUMB is hard. Pretty low threshold, eh?
 
I think the kid is an absolute beast and would love to have him. Kid has a relentless motor, hyper athletic and defensive minded......yes and please.
 
I loved it at 1:43 when he pinned his man to the ground to start the fast break, and I sure hope that there are whole bunch of GM's in the NBA who think like Franklin and green because that's the only way we have a prayer of getting him at twelve. By the time this is all over three might be too late to grab him.

P.S. Interesting that he has his first name on the back of his uniform.
 
This thread is everything I thought it would be. AND MORE. Even I underestimated the shades of xenophobia that this might produce.

Joker, by "more credentials" do you mean riding the pine in Belgium and never really doing anything, anywhere, ever?
