To summarize this post - "wait until next year!!" We heard similar refrains about Ajinca and Morrison. We're still waiting.
I've attended almost every Bobcats home game this year.. Biyombo is still terrible. He's less terrible than he was last year though. I've already set forth the case in the prior thread that Biyombo has to break out next year. He is horrific on offense and always will be. He needs to pay his way with defense and he is just not good enough yet on defense to justify keeping him on the floor given how fantastically bad he is on offense. Next season is it. If he doesn't break out then it's over. Show me one other player that sucked as bad as Biyombo for three seasons and then became a defensive all-star. Wallace did it after two seasons. Sanders after two seasons. And don't bother with the "but he's young", "but he didn't even see his first basketball until he was 18", "but his rookie season was a partial season", etc. The fact that you have to come up with lots of excuses is telling of the plight we're in with Biyombo.
Tyson Chandler for one. Ben Wallace was "as bad as Biyombo" for at least 4 seasons before he won a DPOY. I'm sorry you have such a poor understanding of context, the world and the people in it do not exist in only black and white.
You think Biyombo is terrible, that's your opinion and you're welcome to it. But the rest of us are in more or less agreement that Bismack is a special project and are reserving judgment for the duration of his rookie contract. So unless you are Michael Jordan, Rich Cho, or Rod Higgins, you are hardly in position to say that "Next season is it."
Also, Ajinca and Morrison? WTF? The former was taken in the late 1st round (these picks historically don't pan out) and the latter was a widely heralded college player whose career was derailed by a knee injury which robbed him of what little athleticism he had. He's pretty much the anti-Bismack.
