    Awesome!!! Good to see he is coming along. Seeing him take steps forward must be a huge relief for Jordan after the Kwame botch up.

    This guy had way to many Q's on him before the draft though. They said he was possibly 25, had no offensive game whatsoever and was extremely raw. He was a 50/50 type pick, and has turned good.

    Agree, but I think he will forever be stuck at C, where he will excel IMO.

    Ben Wallace/Mutombo type, but this guy will actually receive quality NBA training at an allegedly young age which gives him a better shot at being at least decent on offense.

    The Bobcats moved him to center because they had too many PFs. I think that he will eventually move back to his original positions once they get rid of some of them. Biyombo is only 6'9 245, kinda smallish for a center but good size for a PF.

    He also said Rubio was a scrub who'd never come off the bench in the NBA.

    This topic was covered during the draft.

    Despite Biyombo's 6'9 frame he possesses a 7'7 wingspan and 9'3.5 standing reach, all of this to go with his amazing athleticism. The guy can play the center spot, no question about it.

    not a mistake. with a team like the bobcraps, a 5 to ten game losing streak is never out of the question.
