It's the athleticism and shot-blocking that drives the comparisons. Ibaka isn't a great post defender or rebounder, so it's not like we're talking about another Dwight Howard with him. However, like we've both said, Serge's jumper is going to make them very different players over the course of their respective careers.

Kemba needs to become a better distributor if he's ever going to become an elite point guard. Too many of his assists are a result of just dominating the ball and not actually running an offense to the benefit of his teammates. He's got the ability to be a really good scoring point guard, but right now his trajectory is looking something like the next Jason Terry or a poor man's Allen Iverson.

The other night I was watching the Bucks game. He came in and started to protect the lane and that is when the Bucks started having trouble attacking the lane. He made a huge impact on the game once he was in. They were starting to hesitate to come into the lane.

Tired of seeing this "never" and "can't become" garbage. 20 years old, on his 2nd coach in 2 years. You dont have any clue what he can or cannot become.

Sky is still the limit for Bismack.

Amen Mustachio..the guy is 20 ..and averages 6 assists a game ..the way he is scoring along With his improvement at distributing the Ball proves he can be elite ..I think a Pg who averages 20 points and 7 assists can definately be elite..if I remember it was a cpl weeks Ago that ppl were screaming how he was our best PG ever ...and I I think even 19 and 6 can put him in the top 10 PG status ..not like he is Brandon Jennings and he gets tons of love ..Kemba is our future and can be elite ..he is like 20-21 and his ceiling is very high

I think Mustachio was talking about Biyombo.

uh, only 5 dudes put up those types of numbers last year and only 6 dudes are doing it this year. i even relaxed your guidelines a little bit.

those are not energy guy off the bench numbers.

@ isgurus...u are 100% right....i was posting about Kemba but did it under the wrong section....it was either bc the moderator made a new thread bc ppl were posting about Kemba under a Biz thread or visa versa or it was bc i had a few drinks and was a bit tipsy...im going to go with the latter....my bad

If Biz is averaging a double-double you may as well just start him, because you won't be able to afford two starters and him. His game's coming along in bits and pieces, the biggest thing is just continuing to get him time.

Biz is showing he's capable of being a 10+ rebounds and 2+ blocks guy. That is certainly starter worthy, and he would look fantastic next to most any capable post scoring big man

Im not so sure about doing this in the future but i definately think we should be starting Biz at PF right now and for the rest of the year...i would really like to see a lineup of Kemba / Henderson / MKG / Biz / Haywood ....he needs as much PT and experience as possible in order to grow and reach his potential...i think we all agree that we arent going anywhere this season so i think we should use it as a season to teach and let our younger guys grow...i think Biz can be a really good player and he has shown glimpses of it lately ...i would just really like to see him start on a regular basis with a decent guy alongside him at Center
