This kid is definitely a keeper. He is just to young, and works to hard to not become the real deal one day.

I don't care if he develops into nothing more than a 9/9/2 player, he's going to be one of my favorite players for the foreseeable future

I wonder how many years it will take for Biz to become the Bobcats all time blocks leader? I am sure that Crash has that bar set pretty high.

Mek set it even higher.

1. Emeka Okafor 621
2. Gerald Wallace 531
3. Boris Diaw 166
4. Tyrus Thomas 163
5. Nazr Mohammed 157
6. Melvin Ely 119
7. Bismack Biyombo 115
8. Primoz Brezec 113
9. Raymond Felton 82
10. DeSagana Diop 73

I'd say that he could break it in 200 games.

You know your list is weak when Raymond Felton is 9th all-time in blocks for your franchise. :lol:

I don't know what's worse, Boris Diaw being third on that list or Raymond Felton being on that list at all :-?

Only in his rookie season, in a shortened one no less where he didn't see consistent minutes, Biyombo is already 7th. Before you know it he'll surely be at the top (hopefully I didn't jinx it).

It comes just from the nature of statistics. Wallace, Felton, Okafor and Diaw played the most minutes in Bobcats short history, so it's obvious that they lead all accumulated statistics.

I mean Felton leads the Bobcats all time stats regarding "3 pointers made" and he is third in "defensive rebounds".

The funny thing is, that Biyombo will crack the top3 in blocks after one and a half seasons. It's only 50 more blocks and the only guy even playing on our team anymore is T2.

I see some slight improvement, but nothing drastic. At least he looks in fantastic shape and is continuing to work at it, though.

Nevermind I'm an idiot. For some reason I thought the above video was a workout done somewhat recently, which had me somewhat depressed.

Considering this is what he looked like in April or so of last year I'd say hes drastically improved.

Yeah but I can't remember one Boris Diaw block to save my life. Theo Ratliff isn't on this list at all? It's just a weird list, lol.

Didn't he only play about 30 something games for us as a super-washed up has-been, though?
