Everything Bismack Biyombo

Go Wizards go! Big fan of what they are doing there. Who needs Durant when you can chase Noah instead!

Please Washington do this!

You do you Wizards.

Does anyone else still doubt that there will be a lot of GMs who overpay on players because they have more money than they know what to do with right now?

guys what if it's the african assassins. what if it's biyombo and pascal somehow? would anything be more of a rallying call for africa? just popped into my head when i saw that 86.7 defensive rating.

"Selling Raptors head coach Dwane Casey on Siakam would have been relatively easy. He led the WAC in blocks (2.2) and rebounds (11.6) and his defensive rating was a conference best 86.7. For a player with a motor that doesn’t stop, Siakam was doing it all in college on both ends of the court. He’s looking to surprise everyone with that jump shot few people think he has."

I think Biz will be back. Apparently he was there for JP's press conference. I say Ross gets dumped somewhere for a future pick. Colangelo has a whole punch. Im sure he wouldn't mind having the last player he drafted.

Seems there are many Raps hanging around town this summer...the great weather we are having in the Toronto area must also be helping...which helps to dispel the bad rap of old re the winter mos.

Ross for Sauce and a future pick?

I do not like the idea of trading Ross to resign Bismack. We lose a lot of 3 point shooting if he goes.

Ross > Biyombo if it comes down to that imo.

Biyombo is great for what he does, but he is awfully limited in other respects. His FT shooting sucks. His hands are butter. He makes us work harder than we should on offense playing 5v4.

His amazing strengths that we needed so much were: Anchoring the D, switching on guards (switching on LEBRON!! fuck I love him for how good he was against Lebron), and insane rebounding, + swagger.

But lets be real, there are many solutions to anchoring the D and rebounding. Biyombo is also limited with his height. Our system made him look really good, but there are many other solutions out there.

On the other hand, Ross showed flashes of what he could do in the playoffs. I was really impressed with his improvement. We have to keep riding that improvement.

Basically: Ross' stock is undervalued and Biyombo's stock is overvalued.

Ross was probably our least effective player in the playoffs, even with Scola playing and DeRozan crapping the bed.

Don't agree but that's just me. Ross is such a waste of space in my humble opinion. Yes Biz is being overhyped for sure but Ross is just so mentally weak I can't even deal anymore.

But, as you've point out with regards to DeMar, playoffs is very small sample size, much smaller for Ross than for DeMar even, and Ross was pretty useful for us this season.
