Bismack Biyombo

[ukballer]

The Spanish League clubs believe he was actually 24 at the time he was drafted. The NBA listed birth dates can never be trusted.

Turkoglu
Ilyasova
Yi
Mutombo
Olajuwon

All of them have been proven to have wrong birth dates listed by the NBA.

Sure.

Last night: 19:54 min., 6 pts., 6 rbs., 2 blocks.

The kid did not have a training camp and couldn't practice with the team until just before the 1st exhibition. He's a project for sure but Paul Silas will make all the haters eat their words.

[kurple]

He's 19.
Dikembe Mutumbo (who he's been compared a bit too) was 25 when he entered the NBA. Dude's got a bright future on the defensive end at least. Dunno about his offensive end, that is still as raw as it gets.

He's not 19. come on

And I thought Thabeet was supposed to be the next Mutumbo and Bismack the next Ben Wallace

He could end up being a great defensive player, but he could end up as Thabeet and MANY big men before him

Time will tell, but I like his timing

I do believe he is 19. He went into some scans and something.

Those are scrub stats for the level he was playing at.

Of course.

ACB is only the best domestic competition not named NBA and the best in Europe by a considerable margin.

And all he did was lead the entire league in blocks per game as a rookie, joining the team mid-season, in only 17 minutes per game at 19 years old.

He averaged almost a block more per game more than any other player in the league.

Scrub! Scrub!

[rufuspaul]

Against the Warriors he had 5 blocks in 12 minutes.

[iDunk]

He had like 5 blocks I think one game when he played only like 12 min.

[Rnbizzle]

Yeah dude can block a shot but from what I've seen he has stone hands, I'm sorry but I'm calling scrub.

[HylianNightmare]

dwight howard, PF version, minus any sort of offense

[boozehound]

Honestly, he's not doing as bad as I thought he would. I thought he would be Sene, be he already looks much better than any version of Sene ever.

The reason he got 5 fouls last night is because he was going at it with Dwight Howard, and with Howard having the huge status over Biyombo he is always going to get all of the calls. Dwight Howard was actually having a lot of trouble with him, which is something you barely see in this league. That is exactly what promise looks like.

The kid has shown in the last two games that he is going to be a good defender in this league. Offensively he is super raw and won't amount to anything.

see Maxiell, Jason. and how is he in this league? oh yeah

yeah, the scrub talk is clearly kneejerk BS. That being said, dude is not going to be anything better than a 3rd big/defensive starter in the league. Which is fine, but not really for his draft position/hype.

[LJJ]

see Maxiell, Jason. and how is he in this league? oh yeah

A taller, more athletic Jason Maxiell with much better shotblocking?

Hey, I'll take it.

[abuC]

Should have taken Kawhi Leonard.

[franchise#3]

How is Hasheem Thabeet doing?

[rufuspaul]

Biyombo last night against Orlando: 5/5, 11 pts., 10 rbs, 4 blocks in 21 minutes.
