Sorry for the double post. Hey, Martin can you please lock the other one. Thanks.
Biyombo by what I've read here and there... way too much uncertainty to justify a 1st round pick on this guy.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Bismack measured at 6'8. Despite the wingspan, I dont think he'll have the impact on the defensive end that we need and we know he's going to struggle offensively. Too much of a risk for me. I'll pass.
Chris Singleton simply because he plays the position that the Knicks pretty much have covered.
Shelby worries me because it seems like everytime he comes up against competition, the kid does not produce. He had a terrible freshman year, and I worry that the kid just is never going to pull it together. Plus, there is no indication whatsoever that he can play the point. We already have a short SG who can score in Douglas. Shelby might be better in getting into the paint, but that is only really helpful in this system if he can run the point, which is still a BIG IF. I would pass on this guy and take a risk on Morris or Tyler. I worry about Biyoumbo to because that dude has terrible hands. He seems to be slightly more coordinated around the basket than Jeffries, but I worry whether he will ever by able to develop an offense game with his poor hands. Scout is quoted as saying Biyoumbo played a game of 1 on none and loss. That is pretty hard to do.
Josh Selby simply because it would be using a 17 1st round pick for a 2nd round pick, leaving many more talented players available. If Biyombo is 6'8", same for him.

Averaging in the wingspan, maybe you'd call him a normal 6'9" or 6'10". But, whatever he is, not being able to see over the players will be a disadvantage, even if he is Stretch Armstrong in disguise. I think a good guy to have on the team, but if we're expecting him to be our starting center, we may be disappointed.
