Under Used players with value to target

I think acquiring Biyombo is like going after someone like Anthony Randolph.

Both are young guys with potential. Both have stuttered in their development. Randolph more so than Biyombo. Neither has really developed enough to carve out a good role for themselves in the NBA. Neither is at a point in their careers where they have given you reason to be bullish about their prospects.

I think it's best to leave those guys to other teams and let them spend their time trying to develop them. Keep tabs on them and if they show growth, reassess. But you don't want to spend assets on acquiring them + time developing them when you can only give them bit-part roles and are unsure whether they have what it takes.

I am still intrigued about Biyombo's long term prospects but he has to show more than he has done ... to convince me he can make it as an undersized starting center. He is probably going to be available in FA in 12 months time anyway.

One note he really isn't undersized at center. He has same standing reach as Howard. His reach is taller then Jefferson, Noah, Horford and pretty much every other center in the east except for Lopez and prob KG.

I would put MKG up there.

I believe he still has untapped potential, and various reports of his hard work and ethic to improve has been highly touted by scouts.

His jumper is ugly. Straight up ugly. Its almost impossible to look at it; without grimacing involuntarily.

The positives? Excellent wingspan, a motor that doesn't quit, and a drive to succeed.

Bobcats were the worst team to draft him, because there is all this expectations of being a lottery pick. Overall, MKG was still one of the best defensive players in the NCAA. So I would love to take a flyer on him.
