BK-Ref doesn't count up the exact number of possessions (unlike nba.com), they simply use some algorithm so their offensive and defensive ratings are a bit off. However, I checked Biz's page and did see the impossible 117 rating you talked about so there must be something wrong with their data for this season.


NBA.com is telling us that we need more Ben Gordon on the offensive (and defensive) end though, which I wouldn't totally disagree with, but I'm sure the majority of the board would

Attribute that to the small sample size.

He's played 46 minutes for the whole season so far:

8 minutes of the 3rd quarter against the Pelicans, the only quarter in which they didn't light us up (21 points);
17 minutes in a blow-out against the Bucks, the time they barely scored 70. That game helped each guy's def rtg;
only 6 minutes against the Heat;
13 minutes against the Mavericks, we truly played great team D that game, even though the eye test proved Gordon to be as bad on D as always.

I expect his stats to fall back to earth, if he continues playing.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. It's unlike Biyombo not to leave at least 3 separate hashtagged phrases at the end of a tweet. If I were to guess how long the injury will keep him out based on how bad it looked in the replay, I'd say 1-2 weeks

Biz has the 7th highest rebound rate for all Centers, dude is a walking double double if he would get 10 shots per game and some FT's

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell 9m

I don't see Biz (sprained ankle) at practice today, so guessing he's still out Monday vs. Warriors.

I figured this would be the case. It'll be good to see Rocky play not at the expense of Biz.

Sidenote: Did everyone see the picture with him and his parents? His mom must be at least 6'2.

No duh. He's going to be out for at least the next 3 games or more. I just hope it doesn't become a chronic issue. I think he'll be OK. He had a ankle sprain last year if I'm not mistaken or was that a hyperextended knee.

I didn't even know DeAndre Jordan was rebounding so well. Anyway. Biz could be a top rebounder as well as shot blocker. I honestly want for him to start with Jefferson. I like what McBob has to offer but he's a good backup like Nick Collison to me.

Biz is 7th in rebound rate for all Centers which is an awesome number.

He also is amongst the top ten in opponent's fg percent at about 38 percent.

He's turned into a good player already but needs them damn minutes.

Call me crazy but I hope we trade Al Jefferson.

i think Biz could be like DeAndre in a year or two, a super athletic rebounder & shot blocker, Biz just gotta get shots, 10 a game should be enough for him to post 10pts since they will be around the rim should also get at least 2ppg from the line, i dont see why Biz couldn't average 10p/10r and 2-3blks every game

DeAndre Jordan got 11m per after averaging 7/7/2.

Biyombo has a higher ceiling than DJ imo.

I'm sure he is but it's a catch 22 in the sense that minutes are important to Biyombo's development.

I really like Al but he's not crucial to any future success we are aiming for.

I almost And1'd your post until you said trade Jefferson. Jefferson makes us good even when he's shooting 30% because he's a legitimate post threat with moves. Trading Jefferson for anything less than a 25 ppg wing would be silly and nobody giving us that for him.

I can think of many trades involving Jefferson that I would do.

Charlotte trades:

Al Jefferson

Chicago trades:

Carlos Boozer+Charlotte first

Just as an example.
