Biyombo was a part of a six-man workout in Charlotte in front of coach Paul Silas, general manager Rich Cho and owner Michael Jordan. Matched up against Marcus Morris, Jordan Hamilton, Chris Singleton, JaJuan Johnson and Thomas Coleman, Biyombo did what one might expect -- blocked shots and threw down dunks in spectacular fashion -- but he also managed to display a shooting touch that was better than advertised. Biyombo worked out for the Raptors on Monday and the Pistons on Tuesday.

Prior to those team workouts, Biyombo held a one-on-none workout at the adidas Eurocamp that drew criticism for showcasing his weaknesses (shooting, dribbling) rather than his strengths (rebounding, shot blocking). From the free throw line, Biyombo showed a touch that would seem to alleviate any fears about a "Hack-a-'Mack" strategy from the opposition.

"I guess the biggest thing that surprised me was his offense," Silas said after the workout. "People said he had no offense at all and I saw a lot of offense today. Shooting his FTs, I told him just to follow through. He followed through and made two free throws right away."

I can't help but like this kid, every interview I read he comes across as an honest hard working dude.

I'm still not sure if he will be Thabeet or prime Ben Wallace though....so hard to tell.
