He is monster in pick&roll defense, normally is good rebounder and finisher around rim.
But there's a difference between doing it for 15 minutes against backups and stiffs... and doing it for 30 minutes against starters, all stars, etc. Can't just assume he'd make a great starter because he's a solid backup. That's how Biyombo got a $70 million contract.
Precisely. And now there's "trade Bamba" posts I mean I like Birch but let's pump the brakes a bit here. As I've said before Bamba is far from a finished product I don't know why people expected he would be. I'm fine with Birch getting more minutes and maybe that takes a little pressure off Bamba as well.
What part of my post said anything about starting, starter, over 16 min, not comming off bench or anything else?
I praised his defense ,rebounds and abilit to finish lobs .
