If only we had biyombo.
I know it's kind of a joking refrain at this point, but we do lack an athletic presence like that inside.
On the other hand, Biyombo is a total zero offensively and scoring is where this team really struggles. Also, Biyombo isn't equipped to handle big dudes like Vucevic and Lopez -- that's who really gives the Celts trouble.
Biyombo has played rather well filling in at starting center (Toronto is undefeated so far but tied tonight). I got a lot of heat for wanting him, but it was mostly taken out of context. The majority of this forum wanted us to trade up for Willie Cauley stein. It would have cost us over 6 draft picks (4 first rounders) to move up and take stein. Made more sense just to sign biyombo for cheap since they were the same player.... Or maybe biyombo would give you 80% of what wcs could. So far, they are about even this season. I stand by it.
WCS always concerned me because of his age as a prospect. You didn't address what I said, though -- Biyombo wouldn't really help our team where they are weakest, which is on offense, and dealing with bigger post players.
Is Biyombo gonna prevent the Celts from getting squashed by Brook Lopez, Nik Vucevic, Andre Drummond, Deandre Jordan, Tim Mozgov, etc? Maybe he'd help secure defensive boards.
