He is still a big work in progress, but tonight you can saw a flash of what he can be. I dont know he will ever develope a post game but he set some amazing screens tonight,grabbed alot of boards, and cloged the lanes inside which freed up other guys to grab boards.

On D you saw what he can do. Another couple of seasons and he will be our starter.

He has had his games in the past and tonight that show what he is truly capable of. Really good defense, rebounding and strong scoring down low. When I worked for the bobcats last year, he was the hardest working player on the team by far. I didn't think he would ever come out of the gym. Just constantly working on his moves and shooting. I think between his experience, maturation, support from teammates and guidance from Dunlap he will become a very good player for us. He is just so young and raw right now. I think that is why Dunlap is giving him so many minutes right now. He sees his potential.

Trick with Biz is that he has to play within himself. He really needs his teammates to set him up properly, he often gets criticized when he ends up with the ball in his hands near the foul line with the shot clock running down, and he's forced to create something off the dribble.

That's not his game, not yet anyways, and it's important that the other guys on the floor keep him in a position to be successful.

Bismack has been disappointing to me this year, but I, along with many other fans probably expected a little too much out of him. I really doubt that he ever becomes much of an offensive threat, but if he can improve his fundamentals, rebounding, defense, and awareness of where to be on the court at all times -- well, I see no reason why he can't be a Tyson Chandler like player.

Searching for any Biz thread to post this.

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhSCHBpq74CT9AI6SI

We always talk about having Hakeem teach Biz but watching that video made me realize a few things.

1. Hakeem is better than any big we have even at his age

2. I miss post games in the NBA and definitely with the Bobcats

3. I can't see any player we have making those type of moves except MKG

I loved the Biz pick and still feel like he can be a great player for us. He teases me with an amazingly athletic move and then jumps in the air and falls down because someone sneezed on the first row. I know he is 20 yrs old and he can develop into something special but how do you all see Biz.

Starter on Playoff Team?

Role Player on Playoff Team?

Bust?

What do you all think his future stats will be?

Biz has disappointed me a ton. He's not very good defensively (although he is a good shot blocker), and he's not anything more than an average rebounder. He does get his fair share of offensive rebounds, but he's not even our best defensive rebounder and I feel like he should be.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
