Bismack Biyombo

  • 5.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.2 blocks in 2017-18 (with Orlando)

Returning for his second stint in Charlotte, you get exactly what you see with Bismack Biyombo. He will pull down rebounds very well (his 5.7 per game last year were in only 18 minutes of action per game) and will get you some scrap points. Biyombo will also block a shot or two, but his ceiling isn’t much higher. While that seems lackluster, he will fit in nicely as the grinder for the second unit.
