I remember this dude blocking shots but also getting postered a lot for the Bobcats and Raptors back in the day. One of the worst offensive players to ever grace the league tbh, but he could always Block and clean the boards. He's pretty washed now though I fear. Wouldn't be surprised if he's gone in 10 days.

His career DRB% is 23.1. If you’re not familiar with the stat it means when the other team puts up a shot, of the 10 players on the floor, he grabs almost 1/4 of the rebounds. That’s pretty fucking good in an area we are weak on.

more vets should help the young guys to execute




Biyombo was at Saturday's loss in Orlando and has immediately pinpointed ways he can help the Spurs' beleaguered frontcourt. “Everybody can see," he said. "We’ve got to figure out offensive rebounds, second-chance points, points in the paint."


Bismack Biyombo tells me he has wanted to be a Spur for a long time. “Since my rookie year, I’ve had a desire at some point to be with this organization," the 13-year vet said. "The past two free agencies, we’ve been going back and forth. It’s great to be here. I just want to help win games.”

Spurs make Bismack Biyombo 10-day contract official. Sounds like he will be available Monday in Washington.

In all seriousness, with Wemby improving from 3 (37% over last 3 months) I wonder if they would try some line ups with him at PF and Bismarck at C.

The bit of gossip TimVP had a while ago about the spurs seeing Jakob as the “perfect fit” with Wemby upfront has stayed with me. Maybe it wasn’t the right time last year, but now?

Anyway, could be a trial run that could inform whether they target someone like Lopez this summer.

That's why I was more sold on Bamba who's way younger. I figured he could be a fairly long term limited role player and I like the idea of parking him on the arc while Fox does all the driving with Wemby on the bench. He's not at ring chasing age like some other buyout guys probably will be.

tell that NBA scouts. They are probably all white :lol



When he talks, he sounds like a wise, old traveler ... not the 18-year-old he claims to be.
"I was born on August 28, 1992," he tells me several times. He repeats the date several times in the interview.
But ask NBA scouts -- any NBA scout -- and they'll tell you he's closer to 22 than 18. They have no proof, mind you. He just looks, sounds, acts and plays older, they claim.


Ford's anonymous scouts peg Biyombo at 22, or thereabouts. In the Hoop Summit aftermath, NBA.com's David Aldridge wrote (http://www.nba.com/2011/news/features/david_aldridge/04/11/morning-tip-awards-picks/index.html) that "an Eastern Conference GM said he heard rumors that Biyombo was anywhere from 23 to 26." SI's Ian Thomsen claimed (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/ian_thomsen/04/10/nike.hoop.summit/) that "a half-dozen NBA scouts and executives told [him] they believed Biyombo was older than his listed age of 18."

It's nice to see someone on the team who can actually set nice, solid screens that actually allow our guards to get around the corner and attack the defense. I loved his dives to the basket afterwards. Hopefully Vic can pick up some of these traits or we draft a big body that has these traits. Vic doesn't hold these screens, nearly long enough. He's always quick to slip them so that he can pop open for the three ball. He can get so many more lobs and easy baskets at the rim if he just set solid screens first.

Big Smack Biyombo seems to be just more of a traditional center than Wemby or Zollins ever was. Maybe that's what this team needed. Wemby shooting 3's is fine but sometimes you need a guy in the middle who stays in the middle and rebounds and scores even just a little bit and then lets the other more skilled players do their thing.

The front office must have forgot to send the we're tanking memo to the players. Sorry front office, but Fox and C3p0 did not come here to tank.

There has been a lot of cheating about age for young African players in various sports. For youth soccer competition, they are now doing wrists MRI to see if players have the declared age. Some players/teams have been disqualified for failing the MRI checking.

Biyombo might be older than 32 but he might be 32 too. At the end end, it doesn't really matter at that stage of his career and given his contractual status (he is a min salary player).

It gives them an advantage when they're playing against kids younger than them. They're able to dominate and look better than they probably would going against guys their own age. It's cheating, right?
Is this MRI testing pretty accurate? If so, should definitely be using it.

What about someone like Ibaka, would he also have cheated his age? I always wondered why he dropped off so much in his early thirties. Maybe I am wrong and he had legitimate injuries that derailed him, but to me, it seemed like his age didn't go along with his play anymore when he turned 32 or so. He looked washed up, but I kept thinking, darn, this guy is still young as far as his listed age goes. Admittedly, I didn't watch him much or know what his injuries were. I vaguely remember a back injury and if that was the reason, I guess that can set anyone back.

Upper middle class suburban white people in America like to play similar games, holding their children back a year so that they can compete against younger kids and look better. They don't lie about the age though, and usually these kids get exposed once they reach high school and the age difference gets mitigated by the fact that you're playing against the entire age range and not just kids who are younger.

There also has been a study showing that in NHL, there were more players born in early months of the year compared to players born at the end of the year.

Regarding African players, I have a hard time blaming them of their family. For most of them, having a son turning pro is their only way to get out of the poverty. People who should be blamed are agents, sports federations in Africa and some pro teams in Europe.

This "fake age" subject will be back on the table in NBA with a player called Mohamed Dabome. He is playing in Spain for Barcelona and is 6'10" while being 13 years old. I think we should be really careful before going after a teenager for lying about his age, so let's just say he doesn't look like a 13 years old kid.

Yeah, I don't blame these families from poverty stricken regions at all. They're doing what they can to simply escape poverty. Heck, even just look at a guy like Bassey. He basically left his family when he was a teenager so pursue basketball. That has to be hard for a young man. I don't know if he's moved his family over here since then or what, but these guys go through a lot of personal struggles that we don't hear about because of these incentives that are put before them. Hate the game, not the players.

He's looked solid for his role/price. I remember another big who looked really good at first too, his name is Charles Bassey. Since I'm going on a tangent, did Bassey peak his first month on the team and then just sort of fell into the culture and wasn't allowed to develop his outside shot and then basically just became a worse version of himself?

Paging Scott.

It is but funny but also rather a sad reflection of our FO that Biyombo who hasn't played in a season is giving us more than Collins did after signing that extension at a tiny fraction of the price

I can't pin all of Bassey's trajectory on the Spurs... I'm afraid injuries robbed the Prince That Was Promised more than anything else. With that said, Bassey did display an outside shooting stroke his first year with the club and in the G-League. But the last two seasons he's attempted a total of 1 3P shot, and I believe it was a buzzer beater attempt.

I think the thing with these guys like Bassey and Bismack is that we've grown so accustomed to watching guys with no rebounding skill - that any big who comes in with decent fundamentals and hustle all of a sudden looks like Dennis Rodman out there.

It's official. Bismack has signed for the rest of the season. https://clutchpoints.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/spurs-news-san-antonio-sign-center-season

Since Bassey has knees of a 70 year old, I wouldn't mind keeping Biyombo as a third stringer next season.

Would definitely agree- not really sure why he hasn't found a roster somewhere.

Great signing. It makes the games a bit better to watch.

Good on him. Now maybe the crack Spurs shooting coaches can help him develop a 15 footer. Lol

Glad they signed Biyombo. He may be old but at least he's competent and he also hustles. The glaring problem is that other than Wemby , we have the worst backup centers in the league. We really need to find one for next year.

Considering Paul has not been traded at the deadline, I Hope he and Bismarck Will be signed next season...they have very good chemistry and both bring veteran leadership...boh help from the bench and some time starters (depending on matchups)

This is fine for now but likely can't find a team cuz can't make freethrows

Why would we want a competent player who fills a need of ours anyway? It's time to tank as hard as possible. Start sochan at center lol

I think I'd rather keep him instead of Bassey and take a 7' guy who can shoot in the 2nd round... Kalkbrenner, Ivisic, Raynaud...or someone like that...maybe Wolf if he falls..

I’d rather not have either of them. Bismack is doing a valiant job filling in, but is not a serious NBA player. Bassey has shown flashes but his knees are completely unreliable. Get a legit backup and 3rd string C from the SRP guys you mentioned.

Hate that Bassey’s knees will ultimately cost him the opportunity to be an NBA player, but that’s the way the cookies (or knee ligaments) have crumbled.

Which one? Zvonimir is a better shooter and creates more stocks , but is a poor rebounder. Tomas is a good rebounder, pretty decent shooter, but doesn’t create stocks.

^ he’s a pretty cool dude. Was also VP of players association, and apparently also donated a whole year’s salary to build a hospital in Congo.

My preference is to throw a healthy offer to Lopez this summer. We need to stop messing around with the front court depth.

I wouldn't be mad if the Spurs sign Bismack to a one year deal for depth.

Bismack "Alonzo Mourning" Biyombo looking pretty good out there tbh. Hard to believe this dude was just sitting on his ass at home all season when the Spurs desperately needed a C..

Bismack's a good dude. Easy to root for. Happy for him tbh. Hopefully he continues to play well the rest of the way.

Unless we make moves and get a better vet big, then it seems like they definitely need him next year. For a minimum contract, seems like a no brainer. Next year, could give the second unit some structure. But, they'll need to make some room and let some people go, I imagine.

He has a nice hook shot, and plays hard. I'd like to see him stick around.
