Bismack Biyombo - ORL - C

Vucevic said that his Achilles is improving a little every day and that he hopes to be back soon. Biyombo is a good stream option for rebounds and blocks (though he's inconsistent) while Vucevic is out. Once Vuc is back, Biyombo's value will be reduced back to where he was before.

(up) biyombo; (down) steven adams

I'd drop either but I'd want to know more about Okafor before dropping Holmes. Vuc is already out tonight again, and they have no real reason to rush him back. You see what Biyombo does when he gets starter minutes so you should pick him up if he works for you

Would you drop Favors or Holmes for him at this point?

Punt points and FT format - always looking to improve in boards, blocks, and FG% - seems like biyombo could really help. What chances are we giving a Vooch shut-down? Bizzy sitting on my wire right now and I feel like she should be on my squad.

#41132, I feel like when Holmes starts he hasn't been as impressive. With him in the starting lineup the past couple games he actually has been getting less time because of blowouts. Biyombo on the other hand will probably be logging heavy minutes (as long as Vucevic is out of course). I'm sticking with Biyombo for now

Biyombo (UP) or Richaun Holmes (Down)?

worth a spec add?

Im considering using a waiver pick on Bis in a league where I need Rebounds and Blocks. Think he's a big upgrade now over Jamichael Green or Greg Monroe?

@dl22. While I see the point in swapping is for Bebe, I'm not so sure Bis gets 25mins even with the trade. Assume Vooch gets 32, that will only leave 16mins for Bis. I don't think they share the court that much if at all. Gordon's backup mins will more than likely be eaten up by Jeff Green more than one of the other 2 big men. At least that's how I'm looking at this from a mins POV for Bis

I've swapped Bismack in for Bebe wherever I could. Gordon's already playing 27-30 mpg w/ Serge on the team. He should see closer to 32+ now, but that still leaves a ton of minutes in the ORL front court and let's remember how injury prone Vucevic is. Vucevic could be traded too, ORL looks like a fire sale. Bismack could be a beast w/ only 24-26 minutes and he's been trending up for the past week or two already.

unless you're talking about Tyler Zeller;)

Well damn I guess that settles that then...

Drop Zeller for Biyombo?

kyle- so what's the thought process? Vooch and Biyombo doesn't play together and thus Bis only gets backup C minutes? probably the case right?

I'm not sure Biyombo will have a big enough role to be more than a stream option in standard leagues as long as Nikola Vucevic is still there.

Probably worth a speculative pickup here.

pgiliberto -- For Biyombo to get the minutes he'd need to be a good option in standard leagues, I would think both Biyombo and Vucevic would have to get traded. Vucevic moving would help the most.

What does it take for this guy to get going? Does an Ibaka trade move the needle or do they need to deal Vuc?

punting ft%/3s/pts Biyombo UP or Sullinger DOWN

Punting PTS + FT%. Filling my last roster spot and looking for a Boards/Blks guy. Been holding on to him for the last two weeks but he isn't really producing. Hold (UP) or drop for Bebe (DOWN). Thanks!

up for trevor booker down for biyombo

deadmau -- He should get a few more minutes, but in general, Biyombo will remain a specialist in many ways. You only really roster him if you need rebounds, blocks, and a good FG% (though it comes on low FG attempts, which limits its impact).

does he have any value when/if vuc is traded?

(up) biyombo (down) henson

I am bewildered by the magics rotation. Biyomobo is starting and averaging 33m/g. Magic 2-2 when he starts. Anyone think this is sustainable?

Starting again tonight.

is the increase in m/g the only thing that accounts for the recent/drastic ranking jump?

I say this often, but is Vucevic's defensive limitation greater than Biyombo's offensive limitation? I say no and this team's offense is a joke. Vucevic is the superior player, but what you say about baka is right as well, he's been terrible. Orlando is known for bad decisions though, so anything goes I guess.

Vucecic is far and away Orlando's best offensive player, don't want to hear about the balding French man bun. Sitting him for Biyombo is insane. If anything they should sit the old and lethargic Ibaka, regardless of what they paid him. Now trading Vuc could be an interesting option, but we'll have to see. When Vuc gets minutes he's 20/10/3/1 period.

I think Vucevic's time as the starting center has been on life support since they signed Biyombo. If they move Biyombo into the starting lineup, I think he'll be a good source of rebounds and blocks for standard leagues. I have him in some of my deeper leagues. I would have a hard time recommending dropping Harkless or Richardson, though. Harkless is playing a lot of minutes and that doesn't seem to be going away.

I am in dire need of a traditional big (Blocks and Rebounds). If he becomes the starter do i run to get him before he even plays a game? Its a tough call for me since i just picked up Josh Richardson and Moe Harkless who seem to be hot pickups now. They're my end of bench players but i don't want to regret dropping one. But like i said, i need a big more...drop one and which one?

biyombo as starting C?

Thanks to both of you

Biz seems to still be learning how Vogel wants him to play and how to cover for his teammates. It was easier for Biz to fit in with the Raptors because they had a defined role for him. Considering how terrible the Magic have looked, I'd be hanging onto Biz in a 14-team to see if Vogel shakes things up sooner than later.

Im in a 14 team league as well, and in all honesty its too early to tell at this point. Most managers make knee-jerk reactions to slow starts, I'd wait at least a couple weeks before letting him go. Orlando brought him in for 17mill and have a ton of bigs at the moment. It will likely take a month or so for Biyombo to find his place in this new system.

An idea why he is playing so bad ? Shall I drop him (14 teams 16 players roster) or wait ?
