Wouldnt Biyombo be a better PF prospect? Is he Dwight/Amare/Griffin athletic? Would Love play Center if Biyombo is drafted?

??? What would make Love a better center than Biyombo?

i was thinking from a defensive match up Love is bulkier and taller and there is a good 15+ weight difference. Granted i honestly dont know much about Biyombo. Wouldn't love at center help him stay closer to the rim and let him get even more rebounds while Biyombo could use his length to be monster on help defense? Against bulky centers Love would make more sense i guess and against athletic ones Biyombo would make more sense right?

Well, I guess you have a point. Love doesn't really do a bad job defensively against real big/lumbering guys, and Biyombo could cover the quicker 4/5s(like Darko did this season). But Biyombo is taller then Love, longer, and more athletic so he would play center.

Also, DX has posted that they will have the database updated tonight with all the athletic numbers...but they have a few up on the site now.

Selby's 42" max vert is nuts...I wonder how high he goes up during workouts.

I think that they'd continue to do what they have been doing; Love would guard the weaker frontcourt offensive player, and Biyombo would guard the stronger one, regardless of position.
