Everything Bismack Biyombo

I disagree, its difficult to be as good a finisher as DJ is on the PnR. Especially for a guy like Biyombo, who is known to have bricks for hands.

That could be taught. I'm pretty its easier to learn how to catch than it is to learn how to shoot. Especially at tender age of 23 years old.

Casey hates turnovers and Biyombo fumbles ball even after the catch. He looks like he's wearing oven mitts. Guys like Chandler and Jordan have soft hands, its not an easy skill to pick up

On the flip side, if you haven't learned to adequately catch the ball by age 23, hard to expect much.

Biyombo is a 15-20 minute, rebounding, shot blocking, energy player. His offense is putbacks and lobs.

That's it.

If you expect more, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Started playing ball when he was 14. His a late bloomer. His best basketball is a head of him.

Naw, soft hands are nature, not nurture. Tyrus Thomas had better hands and a similar game, he's in his prime and playing in Europe this year.

Is 14 old for a basketball player? That's grade 9. Basketball is typically taught in high school. I believe even MJ started at around 14/15 years old as he started his athletic career playing baseball & football.

Tyrus Thomas was a nutcase. BB has a way better head on his shoulders.

Most NBA players now start playing in grade school. Especially in his age range. it would be hard to find another 23 year old NBA player that's only been playing for 9 years.

My brother is an AAU, OBA coach. He starts kids in clinics and teams as young as 8 and 9

Exactly my point. Hopefully your brother develops a leaguer.

Wow, thats great. Must be really rewarding. I've been thinking about getting into coaching myself.

That's his dream. To take kids and get them four years of school paid for...anything beyond that is gravy.
