His shoot

form actually looked pretty good. His HUGE weakness was supposedly his offensive rawness but imo his shot and his foot movement looked pretty solid.

Sure this was a 1:30 minute video but I sure how we can get him in after Dec. 19th.

Post Moves

On many of the post moves he went through the invisible defender, he never went around him.. needs to work on that in practice.. also he traveled on his initial post move about 3 or 4 times..he showed why scouts said he was raw,but you can obviously notice the athletic potential

Looks good

But then again, he has no one defeding him! Will be a lot different when he faces a worthy opponent.

From this video, I think he’s limited to the PF position. I was hoping that he’d be able to play C, but he’s just too small. Only in small ball could he possibly do that. We need a freaking C!

If he is only 18 he will grow a little bit

But he can still play C with his arm length. I think it depends on if we draft a C or PF in the draft this year. If we draft Davis we will put him at C if we draft Drummond we will put him at PF. If we draft a SF or SG we will put him where he plays best.

Uhhhhh

What from that video drove the stake into Biz at the C position?? I understand the height issue. I get it. But while he doesn’t tower above the crowd, did you all notice how he doesn’t even have to lift off to hammer it. Really…with those arms up, he is easily as big as any C in the league. And should he be able to keep his hands up on D as taught, non-issue. And small….don’t say that to his biceps. They will strangle you. Biz is sitting right around 255 lbs. And cut to crapshaith. Small isn’t the right word. You all have got this idea stuck in your domes. Let him show us what he can play. Don’t count out our boy!!!!

Rick Bonnell said two of the strongest men he has ever seen in the queen city is Okafor and Larry Johnson..He said Biz is right there with them both,

Also, a comparison to raise some eyebrows.

Bismack Biyombo: Height: 6’8.31 w/o shoes, weighs: 245, standing reach: 9’3.42
Dwight Howard: Height: 6’9 w/o shoes, weighs: 240, standing reach: 9’3.5

Is that right?

I thought for sure D Howard was at least 7 foot. Maybe you mean Dwight was that size when he was 18??

by Bobcats_Ball on Dec 4, 2011 4:41 PM EST up reply actions  

Per NBA.com

Howard is currently 6’11" and 265, but he wasn’t when he entered the league

Hard to trust height measurements though

But it is true that he could very well have grown since he entered the league. I do know he looks about the same height as Durant when side by side.

very true..

I do like your comparison though.

I mean even Howard is still working on his offensive game
