Wow Givony just said that he is an interesting guy to talk with (as a lot of journalists mentioned earlier) but it doesn't mean that he is a smart player because of his story and vision on worldwide But everyone mentioned his poor decision-making in terms of rebounding, passing the ball, using hands and he is raw in terms of knowing of the game, as we call it fundamentals. I saw him in ACB. Nothing too exciting in 5 on 5 game with pro's, not boys from HS.
One question to you: Did you watch him in real five on five game against pro players? I guess no. STFO, that what is all about.
*sigh* Can you not see that I have been agreeing with you that Biyombo is extremely raw and a project? I am just trying to explain to you that everything he is bad at, "fundamentals", can be improved upon. Once he gets to the NBA, he will (hopefully) have a great coaching staff to teach him basketball. He just started playing the game, I don't expect him to have Shane Battier's bball iq.
Take a look on idiots like DeAndre Jordan or JaVale McGee and say that this things could develop. Flip is often facepalming on McGee because even he can't understand how player could make this awful decisions on rebounding or controlling the paint and call himself as a defensive center. And this man was working with Olowakandi so he knows the difference between idiocy and total idiocy
Look, go back and read the tweets I reposted from DraftExpress. Do those three statements sound like Javale Mcgee or Deandre Jordan? Are you insisting that Biyombo is an idiot, even though all the draft sites talk about how mature and much of a leader he is?
Defensive center should have a high basketball IQ to be a solid and valuable player. Low-IQ defensive centers are just fantasy monstarz but they are garbage as a valuable pieces. 40+ YO Mutombo hold bunch of Rockets players in middle 80's in points allowed in the season before Gay-Battier swap. Almost all of those players aren't playing in the NBA nowadays Javal or DeAndre are giving interesting stats on rebounding and blocked shots. Their respective teams are in the top-10 worst in the NBA. That's all about IQ impact.
LOL! It's Javale's fault the wizards suck? And it's Deandre's fault the clippers suck too? I'll leave you with your thoughts. Enjoy your evening.
Did anyone say that he's mature on the court? Nobody. Every scout should be fired for this. JVG said in that Houston Sports Conference that Charles Oakley had college experience in Virginia Union and one dude had it on Yale and Oakley was a rocket scientist on court and he was much smarter than him in terms of basketball. T-Mac is one of the smartest players to ever play the game but he's obviously an idiot of the court same as Charles Barkley.
Other. Even if we draft one of those rookies, they won't be starting. Chuck Hayes can probably beat anyone else out for the job, but I don't expect him to be back. Gasol is a pipedream. Thabeet wasn't even good enough to be on the roster last season, much less start. It'll be a ho-hum free agent like Dalembert, or trade like Asik, or else Jordan Hill.
Asik was one of the choices. And god help us all if Jordan Hill is our starting center. At least we would have a clear direction I guess.
Do we have a shot at Tyson Chandler? It would probably be a lot of money, whatever his max is I'm guessing, Cuban will give that to him
I say we take a risk and take on Brendan Haywood's $11 million a year. Cuban has to move him to resign and pay Chandler. It would cost us Lee because they will probably get rid of Buttler. Who else can we afford to let go that the Mav's want besides Scola, Martin, and Lowry?
If Hayes is gone and Hill is still here I expect HILL. Who will be the starting center by the end of the season is more interesting.
You think Morey would go after him? I like Bourousis, but I'm kinda scared of getting David Andersened although Bourousis is a shotblocker and he is about 4 years younger.
Morey is in no hurry to fill a position of need unless we have a star to contend for a title. However, a complete roster makes us a more attractive destination for stars. But he is not gonna overpay or sell the farm when we aren't in title contention.
Man, wish I could fight this RTM guy. What a jerk. People have a right to their own opinion on a player. No need to trash other people's ideas because they aren't the same as yours. Besides, most of the scouts out there disagree with you.
One of the poorest post in the thread. For all the facepalming u claim flip did, how many amazing things did he jump for joy at? How many more wins would the rockets have if the y had mcgee or jordan at center vs hayes,hill, or patterson?
