He can definitely protect the paint and grab rebounds. Perhaps if he can add some good post moves and a solid 15-18 foot jump shot... I dunno. I'm still not sold on the guy.
Much better intangibles than Ben Wallace? You're talking about one of the best defenders of all time. No one has much better intangibles than Ben Wallace.

Matter of opinion,but Ben Wallace is a NBA Champion and has been the DPOY.Mr.Intangibles hasn't been out of the 2nd round.

I still don´t understand how can people say that he is a 25 year old guy, just look at his face, dude just looks young. He sure sounds more mature then 18-19, but still, draft him at 14# cause he will be there PeAcE
No he didn't. At least not many times. So this is how you respond after getting called out? He doesn't "remove" that many articles. His site is so popular in part because people can read up on the older articles. Quit making crap up. It is just beyond annoying seeing you in a lot of threads pouncing on people because they don't watch as many euroleague games as you, yet you don't even have enough basic basketball knowledge to know what you're exactly watching.
I'm sold on Biyombo. I actually don't think we need to move up. If he's not there at #14, someone else really good will be. For me, the perfect draft would be grabbing Biyombo and trading Jordan Hill for another draft pick. Then using it to grab Singleton. Talk about a defensive upgrade in the front court.
I had to click on this thread to see who OHMSS was putting down / disagreeing with / arguing with now - Ford, Givony, Broussard, DD, Americans in general, etc? Givony... and Carl Herrera! As an aside, I feel bad for HMMMHMM, who seems like a good poster, but their usernames are so similar. count me in on that plan. I really like Singleton... has a Gerald Wallace feel to me.
I would be a happy man if that happened. Although, if we got another decent draft pick and both Chris Singleton and Tobias Harris are there, I'm not sure which one I would go with.
How is one supposed to do that? You, OHMSS, called Rubio the next great point guard several times on your personal blog. You've just deleted the blog since. Prove that you didn't. If you provided one article, one tweet, one podcast, or one interview where Givony called Rubio and Fernandez the next Maravich and Ginobli everyone would know you're telling the truth. But you haven't. Instead, you expect everyone to disprove your baseless claim. It doesn't work that way.
