NBA Draft Thread 2011

[abovelegit1]

^Freak athlete. Wouldn't mind a gamble by the Wizards on him if the pick is lower than expected. 
Chad Ford on him recently:

"Biyombo is a huge draw for NBA scouts and GMs," says Ford. "Very few of them have seen him up close. He's a 6-foot-9, 245-pound Serge Ibaka-type player with a crazy 7-foot-7 wingspan. He's been playing well in Spain of late, and every week he seems to be creeping up NBA draft boards. If he has a big tournament against the best American high school prospects in the country, he could easily be a lottery pick.... He's one of the few ultra athletic players in Europe right now. He has the physical profile down and scouts claim that he's more polished than most players his age. The fact that he's getting some real playing time in the best league in Europe, the ACB, helps him as well."

Yea, I read about him a couple weeks ago, dude is a montster by all accounts though the USA team doesn't have much size outside of McAdoo and Davis though.

Yeah this kid is getting major minutes on one of Spain's best teams at 17 is not the same as 24 year old DJ Mbega playing Belgium and going undrafted.
