Biz is currently averaging 4.8/7.6/1.4 on 67 percent from the field in 27.5mpg.
He's slowly but surely getting there.

Him shooting a better percentage from the floor is an underrated part of Biz's improvement this season. I hope he can be 55%+ this year.

He'll play back up so probably 15-20 min a night. I don't mind that. Let Jefferson carry the load and Biz go all out when he's on the floor. I was surprised to see he had 3 blocks tonight. His defensive positioning is much improved from last year.

Re: #Ilovehashtags: The Bismack Biyombo Thread
The roster is loaded highly active players like Biz, MKG and Zeller. Those 3 just seem to be everywhere. Kemba as well but we're accustomed to see the ball in his hands so it seems normal. But this team is really founded on high energy guys - it's a great supporting cast. We just need a legit scorer. That's it. Our young guys really get into the game.

Eric Mother F***ing Gordon. That's who we need. Good defense, better offense. If he is available for an expiring and incentive, we need him. Can you imagine him at the 2 with Biz, Zeller, MKG, and Kemba all being hyperactive all game?
investigate Adam Silver

Not a bad thought. He's still fairly young and the Pelicans are a candidate for a mini firesale if they fall out of the playoff picture. They will be looking for draft picks.

Ben Gordon and any one of Taylor, Sessions, Portland pick, Detroit pick, or even Henderson (if they add a little something) would easily get it done.

Lol. That pic on that link is humorous. Hes the leader in that category by a rather large margin. Im not surprised though.

Re: #Ilovehashtags: The Bismack Biyombo Thread
Everybody that watch the Bobcats know that Biyombo is limited offensively. He can barely make a contested shot at the rim. The last thing they need to be doing is force feeding the ball in his hands to let him make decisions in a half court offense. His time will come as he develop

You can't deny that he has gotten better since coming to the league. Offensively he has improved and the only way to do that is repition, repition, repition. I am fine with force feeding him the ball in the paint because most teams have to foul him to stop him from scoring.
Mike Malone was never given a fair chance in Sacramento, and Ranadive will soon come to regret that, when he's on top of the WC inevitably contending somewhere

I like the way how Clifford is just allowing Biyombo to play to his strengths. As he find comfort & confidence, in due time he'll begin to ask for the ball

Re: "Guys?" The Bismack Biyombo Thread
I like the name!
I completely understand why they don't pass it to him often but he is doing a good job of sealing off space under the hoop and we should reward that.
He also sets really impactful screens which I hope we can reward also.
