If Cho wasn't on board, I would probably agree that the Bismack was drafted a little too high, but Cho's a pretty good evaluator of talent. And getting Kemba that low is a no brainer.
It appears as though it's a drill - he's suppose to read/react the position of the defender. I don't think the goal is to back down the defender/score - they are testing his ability to repost/seal and his footwork in the post to see how he moves with different looks.
Some of you guys are hypocrites. If Morey drafted both Kemba and Bismack, you guys would be all over it saying crap like Morey had a excellent draft night and I have faith in Morey's decisions. Truth is Kemba and Bismack are both high risk, high reward players. Kemba IMO has a chance to be the best PG(scoring wise) coming out of this draft, a more improved version of Aaron Brooks. And Bismack wasn't drafted for his offense(which can always improve). His defensive ability is something you just can't pass on. Add that to a freakishly long wingspan and standing reach and he has the potential to become a elite post defender in the NBA for years to come.
Pippen's just butt-hurt because he will always be remembered as the guy who played Robin to Jordan's Batman. If he could afford his own team he might find it a little bit harder to actually make decisions rather than sitting back and putting in his two cents on every move Jordan makes. Haters gon' hate
I thought the reason why Jordan hired Cho was because Jordan finally figured out that he was a poor talent evaluator and that Biyombo and Walker were handpicked by Cho?
Walker will be a stud, bismack will be a rich man's joey dorsey. He is not ben wallace main difference is ben's muscle mass people forget this guy was a rock!
Actually, the majority of the mocks projected Biyombo as a lottery pick. (Doesn't necessarily mean I agree that he should've been picked that high)
I think Biyombo's goal, at least for his rookie season, is try to play like Serge Ibaka is playing. Block and defend the crap out of people, and if the offense comes, it comes.
It's not hypocritical. We looks at Morey and see the guy who drafted Brooks, Landry, and Chase with low picks and got quality players. We look at MJ, the guy who drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, and don't see a guy who deserves the benefit of the doubt when he takes players that don't seem to fit his team's needs.
Every draft pick is a POTENTIAL... There's no guarantee about any player that gets drafted.. So to say this guy is a superstar or this guy is a bust before they even hit the court and play one single game is ludicrous!!!
I don't understand why people are saying they drafted biyombo too early when its pretty common knowledge that the rockets were going to trade up to 8 to pick him. And I think the kemba pick was a good one. I mean the one thing nobody question about him is his ability to create for himself which is exactly what the bobcats need.
Kemba is a great prospect, but then what are they going to do with DJ Augustin. Don't tell me that Kemba was head and shoulders the best prospect left on the board when you got Kawhi Leonard there in that spot. I think that the bobcats could have done just as good with: Kawhi Leonard, and Kenneth Faried draft.
