I'm on the bandwagon. He goes hard in the paint and doesn't settle for pu$$y layups/floaters. Plays with power and heart. Pure hustle. If the MEM pick is stays at 19 lets say, I have a feeling he won't be there. We need to use Flynn to trade up, unless that hurts the pick value.

I have a feeling you need a lottery pick to draft him.

If MEM can lose some of these games and teams like the Hawks, Knicks, Sixers jump them, that pick could be 15-17. Close enough I hope.

Given our luck the Blazers or Thunder will move up 1 spot in front of us and grab him.

We need to move up with that Memphis pick.

Biyombi is a complete beast. He looks block and dunk everything. His defense is the only reason the world team is in this game. Id be shocked if he's not a motto pick.

One more block for that triple double. Not alot of offensive skill but looks to dunk everything. Just tried to jump and dunk over 6 10 Anthony Davis. Am I crazy to think he goes top ten. I don't think he's a full time center. He can play some spot minutes there but I see PF.

Beast. Nothing more needs to be said. Except I'll add this. We need to trade up from 18 to get this guy.

Jonathan Givony/DraftExpress:

Block party at the #NikeHoopSummit. Bismack Biyombo and Anthony Davis are inviting everyone. Both guys finishing around basket powerfully.

Offense is the weakest part of Bismack Biyombo's game, but he's carrying the World Team rw/his play inside the paint. Stock rising big time.

Bismack Biyombo had zero experience, but came into ACB and immediately led the league in blocks. That's how you know he's something special.

RT @johnhollinger: I tried to Tweet something but Biyombo blocked it.

For those saying Bismack Biyombo is just another Saer Sene, he's been doing this same stuff for a while now in the ACB. Totally different.

Saer Sene couldn't get off the bench for Pepinster, the worst team in Belgium. Bismack Biyombo plays for a playoff team in Spain.

This is a joke. Bismack Biyombo blocking shots with his elbow now. Who cares how old he is? How high does he go after this?

If we aren't in position to get Irving, I honestly wouldn't mind using the Wolves' pick to get Bismack (probably by trading down).

I'm not sure he jumps as high as Ibaka does, but he has a much better frame for the C position.

Watching those videos he reminded me kind of like Ibaka too.

I would LOVE Biyombo on this team, he seems like a perfect fit. I'm interested to see what his draft projection will be now.
