If the Wolves take Kanter at 2 there's a decent chance Cleveland grabs Biyombo at 4. They don't have anybody else behind Varejao, and it would be fun for them to have Irving, Hickson and Biyombo running the floor.

Regarding the question of if Biyombo is better at PF or C, its difficult to answer. Even though I would love to pair him with Love, look how much better Ibaka played midseason when he moved from center to power forward.

If you knew me, you'd know that these categories are not fair.

Biyombo isn't Ibaka. He's built much wider.

Edit:

Also, Ibaka didn't move from C to PF, he moved from backup PF to starting PF. That's why his play improved.

Right he likely isn't Ibaka, shame.
