Don't forget to take draft position into account. Bismack was the seventh pick in the draft, Ibaka was the twenty-fourth.

That has little to do with anything really since we're comparing them to see what bismack could become as a player.

If you expect the seventh pick to produce more than the twenty-fourth, then it has a lot to do with the topic.

Not if the 24th pick exceeded expectations for him by those who passed him up.

Per game stats are fairly useless. You can use the advanced stats information from basketball-reference.com to get a much better idea of how they compare per possession, since teams play at different rates.

Shot Efficiency (TS%) - Ibaka, by a lot
Offensive Rebounds (OR%) - Ibaka
Defensive Rebounds (DR%) - even
Passing (AST%) - both suck
Shotblocking (BLK%) - Biyombo, by a smidge
Turnovers (TOV%) - Ibaka

Ibaka was significantly better in his rookie season.

having a dude who can score from anywhere and another dude who can get into the lane at will can do wonders for yah.

not to take anything away from ibaka, just something to think about.

If the statistical differences were narrower...
