Bismack Biyombo says he's 100% sure he'll lead the NBA in blocks and rebounds.

[Theoo's Daddy]

Move over dwight, it was nice knowing you..

:bowdown: :bowdown:

So, do you believe you will lead the NBA in blocks?

"I do."

Will you lead the NBA in blocks?

"Yes."

Can you lead the NBA in rebounding?

"Yes, I will."

You will lead the NBA in rebounding?

"Yes. Of course. Hundred percent.

"I don't care how tough people are over there. I don't care how strong they play over there. I know that I'm strong, too. I know that I'm tough, too. I never let people just beat me easy. They're going after me and I'm going to go after them.

Kevin love just got called out.. shit is getting real brehs.


"I have one guy that I watch in the NBA, the way he rebounds the ball, Kevin Love. He's very smart. He knows the place he needs to be to go after rebounds. Every time I watch his game, I don't watch how he scores the basket. I watch how he rebounds the ball. He's very smart. He's not jumping like me. He don't have a body like me. But he's smart. So a lot of times I try and learn something from him, and that helps me a lot. Someday, I'm just going to wake up like I'm going to 20 (rebounds) -- and I'm going to get 20. I'm going to do the same thing I was doing in the ACB and I'm just going to keep going and make some things happen."

[Clippersfan86]

Why does this particular, weak draft class feel the need to trash talk current players? Do they think it's going to rise their stock that much? This is like the 4th player in this class to do this.

Nah, Biyombo would play C.

Bismack has shown through these workouts his NBA position will be at Center, a slightly undersized one making up for it with freakish wingspan. He has no offensive game whatsoever and probably little upside to develop one, so he'll need to make his impact at C.

[Lebowsky]

Shit was on ESPN 3. it's still even there on demand you know :rolleyes:
So you've seen him play one exhibition game against kids his age (I guess, even though his age is unclear for some people) and that makes him better than Ibaka offensively? Well I've seen him play all year and he has ZERO offense. He's good defensively (and has the potential to be really great), but his offense is nonexistent. He needs a loooot of work in that facet of his game.

[MeLO MvP 15]

Good. I love his confidence. Read Chad Ford's story about him. It shows his drive and motivation. I hope the Knicks pick him up (I'd trade up for him).

Ibaka in the Nike hoop summit had 8 pts/8 rebs. Bismack had a triple double. i'm inclined to think bismack will be a better offensive player than what ibaka has shown so far.

[sundizz]

Steph, Monta, Dorrell, David Lee and Bismack would be a pretty good lineup, especially with Ekpe Udoh coming in off the bench for either Dorrell or David Lee. Obviously not championship level, but would be interesting to see what they could do. They definitely either need a superstar or another solid piece. With his motor, and defensive energy I think he is just the type of player the Dubs need. They need to build a solid team, and not try to get any one superstar. Monta is clutch, and Curry is a great team manager. However, they need help behind them to be effective. A zone defensive, ala Dallas would actually be their best defense. They have the speed, length and (with Udoh and Bismack) the shot blocking to make it work.

[shrempf_on_rice]

I can hear it now "he got bismacked" jk jk
I don't kno jack about the guy but that's a cool name..

[Euroleague]

He averaged 6 points and 5 rebounds playing on a crappy team in the Spanish League..........................

[Scoooter]

I like the confidence. No point in thinking you're not a beast. He's focusing on the right things, defense and rebounding. He should hang with Ben Wallace and Chuck Hayes when he gets a chance. This guy's got a freak body too. Something like a 7-and-a-half foot wingspan at 6'8". I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

[dee-rose]

I can hear it now "he got bismacked" jk jk
I don't kno jack about the guy but that's a cool name..
Wow, I want him to be colossally successful now, just so I can say that all the time

[tomtucker]

Here he is in action
.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W5c_kE2eYA

[blacknapalm]

he realizes love boxes out right? you have to have a certain mentality and BODY to do that as well. you can't just jump for rebounds. if that were the case, dwight, smith, lebron and wallace would rack up all the rebounding awards. guys like al jeff, love and lee would have no chance, right? part of this seems naive, the other part seems like supreme confidence.

i'm not sure how i feel about this guy. i mean, he apparently interviews well and he has massive potential. i can see the next ben wallace in him but there's work to be done. if he expects to show up and dominate right away, he's in for a long journey.

if he keeps this up though, i won't have much to say until he proves stuff on the court. i can dig trash talking on the court, but if you're gonna do off the court, you better bring it.

i've been plenty wrong before and am totally fine with that. i think this guy is a ben wallace lite. only time will tell. some people may forget that wallace patrolled the paint so hard that players found it difficult to even get in there. he was an intimidating force. altered shots shouldn't be a stats but it sure is part of the game. he also just rebounded like a fiend. if what he says is true, he should be a ROY candidate.

EDIT: as a final point, i just wanted to say i find him intriguing because in most mock drafts i've seen him taken as high as #7 and as low as #20. so i mean, don't beat your chest if you think he's got the goods. no one really knows for sure and if you think you do, you should do this professionally across the board. we don't all bat .100. does he have foul troubles? lots thought hasheem thabeet was the next dikembe but he couldn't stay on the court more than 20 minutes and had stone hands on offense.

so he is only 18???

that issue has come up, but nothing substantial yet. it's the same thing as jianlian. iffy birth records i guess. purely from a maturity standpoint he does seem older. he's actually kind of well spoken as far as knowledge of the game considering he apparently was a late bloomer. again, it's what makes part of his game intriguing. is he the defensive version of jianlian? the guy is gonna need to pull down boards and get some tip-ins. his FT% is just 55%.

so basically...ben wallace? the comparison sort of makes sense. the upside is he's young but i can just as easily see favors going way further than him offensively. and of course, making up enough difference defensively. honestly, i thinks some are forgetting about cousins. give cousins a good coach and time to grow and that guy can be a regular 20/10 guy in the league.

But Thabeet were supposed to be the next Mutombo

[GiveItToBurrito]

He'd have to play 35 minutes or more for an entire night, which might not happen. Still, he seems like a beast and a lot more like Ibaka than Sene or someone since he was really productive in Europe. I'm surprised the Timberwolves haven't been more active in trading down for him (number 2 for Washington's 6th pick, the 17th, and maybe a heavily protected conditional first?), he'd be perfect for them.

[DC Zephyrs]

I really hope the Wizards get this guy at #6. He's 6'9 with a riduclous 7'7 wingspan, runs and jumps like a gazelle, and plays with a ton of energy and hustle. He's going to need to refine his offensive game before earning starter minutes in the NBA, but if he does there's no reason he can't lead the league in shotblocking and rebounding. He has all the tools.

I read Bismack comments and I have yet to find where he is calling Kevin Love out. Classic case of an idiot poster making up things and others instead of reading the quote for themselves believe the idiot poster and replying to it.

He does seem older and looks older and acts older. But a European team did a study on his wrist bones and said he couldn't be older than 17 (last year tho) citing that the bone was still open and growing. They said they are willing to share the findings with draft teams.

The way the story is told - he started playing organized ball and within 9 months he was playing professionally in other countries. So he simply hasn't made a lot of baskets. His subconscious mind isn't even taking over when he does lay ups yet. But Hakeem has a similiar story and his post game was more evolved than any center to play the game by the time he finished.

I have been saying this for awhile here. If the Wizards hired Mike Brown, Jeff van Gundy or and defensive minded coach they win and are contending in three maybe two years. They would be Atlanta on steroids. Put in Biyambo and they are the longest and athletic team the league might have ever had. Wall, Young, Blatche, McGhee and Yi (Biz would follow suite) are as athletic as anybody their size, and have a standing reach tops among guys their size. They have the longest arms going. Ndiaye and Rashard Lewis add to that considerably.

With Wall too fast for anybody, they would terrorize the league - turnovers would be like a playground for him and Wizards would be producing them like crazy. Crawford is going to be an outstanding all around player. Nick Young is looking very good at the two. Blatche is versatile 16ppg with a high amount of assist and steals for a seven footer and the way they play. McGee is finding his nitch and could lead the league in blocks. Rashard can hit the three. Seriously, they could wake up one day in November and be Atlanta. McGhee, Biyambo, Wall, Nick Young and Blatch would be the longest athletic team ever.

Brandon Jennings sucked in Euroleague and he sucks in the NBA. The Nike Hoops Summit was against high school players. Macvan had like a 30+/20+ game at the Hoop Summit. I don;t see anyone here drooling over Macvan. And FYI, Macvan was a scrub in Euroleague level. Also, all the clubs in Spain believe Biyombo's real age is 22-24.

Biyombo was not a bad player in the ACB or anything, but he was no more than average. And that is the second best league in Europe. Already people here are talking like he was some superstar in Europe.

Why do so many American NBA fans keep doing this all the time? Can they not grasp that just because an NBA team wants to draft a guy that was playing in Europe, it does not mean he was some star in Europe? Are they really so stupid that they can't use basic reasoning and logic in even the most simple of concepts?

Biyombo is a huge physical talent, but people are saying he is an NBA project/European star. Wrong. He was really nothing more than a project on a mediocre team in the second best league in Europe too.

He was better than Rubio in ACB, but that does not mean jack, because Rubio was complete trash. Hell, he is in TRUTH about the same age as Mainoldi, and in his team, Mainoldi was the best PF on the team, and Biyombo was just a support player to him at that position.

And Mainoldi is only 1-2 years older in truth. I don't ever remember reading any threads on NBA forums about Mainoldi, who is a better player than Biyombo is.

Biyombo is a huge physical talent and NOTHING more than that. He could end up being a great player, or he could play 2 years in the D-League, go back to the ACB, and never make it at the Euroleague level.

The hype about this guy is getting way overboard. People keep saying he will develop all these skills, but you can't say that. No one knows. 2 years ago all NBA fans were saying "Rubio will develop a jump shot in the next couple of years". Did he? No.

Biyombo is a 50/50 to be a good player or a huge bust.

People take the Biyombo is raw stuff too far. He is raw OFFENSIVELY. Look at his block and rebounds per minute. He was at or near the top of the league in both. He is not raw at all DEFENSIVELY. He is not really a risk if all you want is Tyson Chandler.

Lots of guys are athletic and tall/long, but what separates Biyombo and makes people so interested is his NBA body, his incredible motor/intensity on court and maybe more so his understanding of team defensive concepts. He will gamble for blocks sometimes, as he knows his talent, but he knows how to position himself, cover for his perimeter defenders, switch on pick and rolls, rotate etc. like few guys his age can.

Biyombo is the type of defender you have to have to compete with all the athletic slashers of today. All the Cs in the CFs were defensive oriented with no skills. I do not care if Bismack develops a jumper or not.
