to cosanostra’s comment above:

Saer Sene actually has good #’s for the mins he was given in the NBA. I don’t know why he’s not playing in the pro’s anymore, cause he truly is a good and exceptionally talented player. Seems to me like he was stuck in a bad situation, and never given consistent minutes. But that said…. Biyombo is gonna be waay more successful and better!

The only thing that concern’s me with him (besides his scoring) is the lack to verify his age! It makes a very huge difference in the draft, whether he’s 18 or he’s 22, or whatever, just look at Yi Jianlian. Almost safe to say that guy is a bust now!

Seems top me like this guy is capable of being a role player right now, a guy good for a few minutes a game of intense defense. Those minutes, which would be reasonably plentiful on some of the lottery teams, would give him a chance to start adding aspects to his game. In this draft, he seems like a risk worth taking.

It’s not just that he lead the ACB league in blocks, it’s that he did in 17 minutes per game. With virtually no experience being around real coaches or players until 6 months ago, he lead the ACB in blocks in limited minutes, had great rebounding numbers (5.1 rpg in 17 mpg), and then did both at an exceptionally high level in the Hoop Summit against the US players who are expected to make 2012 the best draft in years. He’ll only be a bust if teams try to incorporate his turnaround jumpers in the lane.

He’s more about him and every other International player who will go in the first round next week:

Very excited for this guy, someone needs to repace Ben Wallace air balls at the free throw line

It’s ACB not ABC lol…

but I think I see more Saer Sene in Biyombo than Serge Ibaka…

Bust because the last defense only guy with a “raw” offensive game was Thabeet and look how he turned out. Hopefully he goes to a team like the Thunder and they can develop him like they did Ibaka. However, he won’t last that long and a team that takes him early can’t count on much in year one.
