I can see Biggie having a Nic-like start to his career - impress the team's star player, earn the starting spot due to no other viable options, long-term starting PF secured!
I see him having more of a ZBo start to his career. Come off the bench and play so well people are clamoring to see him start by mid-season. Yeah, we don't have a Sheed-quality starter for him to compete with so it should be an easier task for him. Just hope he takes a pass on the Hoops Family stuff.
Only Hoops Family I see Biggie forming is a family of foster kids whom he can help develop into solid citizens with legit futures the way his dad did for him.
Gerald Wallace is one of the latest blooming players ever. And he started becoming good at age 23. Another example is Jermaine O'Neal, but he was an all-star at age 23. Leonard is 25, I think the only reason he's in the nba is that Neil doesn't want to admit he goofed on the #10 pick.
I don't care what all of you want to say but Meyers has put on 20 lbs of pure muscle and it absolutely cut. Total Beast!
There's a lot to like about Biebs - athleticism, work ethic, shooting touch, good teammate, generally a good dude... He also has a lot of challenges - defense, BBIQ, immaturity,... The problem is that no cure for low IQ and fragile psyche.
He reminds me of one those big white guys who had long careers only because Shaq was in the league and not because of their skill. There is no Shaq anymore.
If he starts playing to his strengths they will have to get big white guys to put in the league to cover him. Remember Meyers looks like that at 7 foot tall. I don't look like that and i'm only 6-3.
If we can get him to even approach 2015-16 then we trade him to clear up the log jam in the front court. Come on Meyers, you can be a little more than mediocre!
He's not that athletic. He jumps low and slow and has terrible agility. He's pretty much just big, and now he's bigger, so I wouldn't expect him to be any quicker or jump any higher.
I was really just trying to say that he's good at some things, bad at others. There aren't many players, let alone centers, who can put the ball between their legs and dunk - he can. However, yes, he can't move his feet at all, which is a huge problem.
