Would love if we could trade up and get him. An athlete with shot blocking ability. Would be nice if we could have a future with him and rondo playing D. Maybe throw in Dwight Howard! But really Danny should see if he is falling to go after him. He would be a nice backup for KG and I while I was reading up on him they say he is high energy hustles on both ends. So if KG can get his hands on him work on the kids Offense and also on D, Would be a dream come true.

Reports seems to say that he is falling pretty fast. Maybe we can move up a few spots to pick him up.

I wouldn't read too much into it.  This is just in response to a highly publicized workout that did not exactly accentuate his strengths, and I think teams are playing it up, hoping that he is going to fall. 

In a draft like this, I would be shocked if he fell out of the lottery, and I would be surprised if he didn't go top 10.

I agree and I think he's actually one of the safest players in this draft because he proved his defensives wares in the ACB.  If it was just the Nike Hoops Summit performance that was feeding the hype and projection, I would be very wary but he led the ACB in blocked shots only averaging 17 minutes.  He has the ACB production and the physical tools to project as a very high level defensive player, a possible All-NBA defender who leads the league in blocked shots and is a top 10 rebounder.  If he can finish inside and chip in 8 points a game, he could be a very valuable player.  A number 3 or 4 player on a championship team if things break right and those players are very valuable.

I've seen him play here in Spain and I'll tell you some thing: hard nosed player, good rebounder, shot blocker, fearless, coachable, tries to improve everytime. He's got the FIBA level. I would be very surprised if he doesn't turn out into an 7th or 8th man in his first season in the NBA. I strongly recommend Ainge to climb up in the draft and go for him. He's a stud.

He's going top 10.  The draft is bad and at least one team is gonna say screw it we'll take a chance on him.  After Ibaka emerged somewhat, I think Biyombo will intrigue someone.
