    Who else would be a better comparison, no offensive game outside under the basket, lives off of hustling, and is very strong and tough. Add in the fact that he is athletic and blocks shots and there you go.

    The Ibaka comparison is way off, he is much larger in Ibaka in size, has nowhere near the offensive game, and is stronger.

     That was a bonehead defensive play at the end by the Americans, all of their players ran after getting a steal and gave up an open three at the buzzer. That stuff won`t fly with their college coaches.

    What i say about Gilchrist..he’s a baller.  scouts, regular people keep doubting him because he’s been on top for so long but he always produces.

     

    I’m not sure which African is which half the time but i know they control the pain like mad men with either block or making guys think twice about shooting in the paint by adjusting there shot. This game is always wayyyy better than the McDonalds All American game because its more organized and there’s defense. you have to play a real game not street ball

    and Anthony Davis looks to block rebound and dunk everything he is sooo long..

    and once again we see how underrated Gilchrist has become not only 10points but like 3blocks already for a sf

    Biyambo is a monster, enough hate on this kid. He is so athletic at just 18 or 19. He ha sthe body of Brandon Bass out thier, with Hassan Whiteside’s length, and Tyrus Thomas athletisism. But wait theres more, he hustles like Regie Evans and plays to his strentghs, defense. No offensive game unless a teamate sets him up for a dunk or layup, although I weill say he has good footwork, and soft hands so the potentials there.

    Yeah it is. He looks just like he did when i saw him in Vegas before his injury. e actually looks faster if you can believe it.

     

    I like how Davis goes after rebounds and blocks even though he’s not really that athletic as far as jumping. If h was a point guard before he grew he must have been the type that never dribbled because he has zero confidence as far as handling the ball

    Who impressed you guys in this game and who disappointed you

    IMO

    Rivers, Gilchrist, Wroten really stepped on Team USA and on the World Team Bismark Biyango was a man among boys in this game, Fournier on France has a nice game and that Polish guy was a good player.

    Biyambo is extremely aggressive as far as tryna bang the ball. I’d take him first round. Not lotto but if I’m a playoff team that has time to develop him I’d take him. He has a triple double (not counting the blk where he fouled the guy but the blk before that where the announcers were talking and seemed to miss)

    Austin Rivers shows why he’s a beast in a real game

    Gilchirst is a beast as a offensive player and defender

    Davis has potential and is good in the open court. Not the best H.S Player in the nation though and needs to work on his strength and post moves

    Teauge is so damn quick and blows bu who ever

    Wroton has Pro court vision

    Beal still reminds me of Eric Gordan

    MacaDoo will make a good first option off the bench for Carolina

    I’m gonna hate Duke even more Because Cook is very good

     

    Kentucky and Duke Clearly has the best players in this game by a mile and Kentucky has the best group easily

    I agree LakerQ, an established team that needs someone that fits his role ould develop him well. Ive had him going to Phoenix for about a week now at 23 I think but he may have to move up after that performance.

    Biyombo was very impressive.  As I mentioned BEFORE the game, he would be a lottery pick this year.  This year draft is so weak that if I am a GM, I would probably gamble a late lottery pick on him and let him develop in ACB for a year or two.

    Kevin Pangos was horrible tonight.  Wiltjer was selfish and chucking and missing shots left and right.  The two were probably the biggest reasons why team world was killed so badly in the first half.  Seriously disappointed at both Canadians.  Maybe they really should have picked Myck Kabongo and Khem Birch instead.  Kabongo would be able to match the US guards in speed while Birch can fight in the post better than Wiltjer.

    Nogueira is long, but he got push around too much.  Whenever, Biyombo is off the floor, team USA has a field trip in the post.

    Guo Ailun was too passive.  Neto and Saric was ok.  Ponitka was the best guard for the world tonight.  Fournier and Bertans played well.  Karnowski was too slow.

    @Teamjosh04 Nice site sir.

     

    While I think Biyambo stock is moving up, I do think he’s stilla year or two away from producing at the pro level ( I didn’t watch the game, just saw clips and highlights from practices and such). I would love to get him for my Knicks because I think he could be a great defensive player at the next level.

     

    Let’s slow down with Ben Wallace and such. How about Theo Ratliff?

    He is far away from being a productive player, but if Patrick Young declared for this draft where would he fall. In a draft that maybe hard to find anything more then a role player and even hard to find that especially after the Top 15 Biyambo becomes that much mnore coveted.

    Nice article although Rivers is more than a one dimensional scorer, he has the most offensive weapons out of any guard this year and in the past couple of years, also a pretty good finisher and good athletic ability (, speed,jumping ability). He also played pretty good defense in this game.

    Wha limitations makes Joel Anthony horrible? Seems like the exact same limitations Bismack Biyambo has. They are both great energetic rebounding, shot blocking, defensive guys. Lets face it despite their wingspan they are still short, anf undersized for C. Also they are horrible ofensively, that is what limits them. Players like this are not "bad players" they are some of the rarest players to come across in a league with so much resting on salary, and star players. When you can get Joel Anthony playing 20-mpg foryour team at a low salary cost to just due intagible winning things you have a very good player.

    ok they may have the same height/weight/similar wingspan(idk about that last one) but u have to realize Joel was 24 when he entered the Nba,hopefully Bismack isnt like 23 or 22 right now but still he just has 10 blocks in the summit game,if Joel was a good player he would be getting starter minutes but instead he is in the carasell with Erica Dampier and Big Z, when i was on realgm this year before i got waived Heat fans hated him.

    Bismack Biyombo reminds me of Ben Wallace exactly, both are 6-9 which is undersized for a center. Both are great defensive players, both are great rebounders, and both are limited offensively.

    They make up for their height by using their athleticism, I see Biyombo playing power forward in the NBA, but playing at center for a few minutes.
