With his contract situation I wouldn't be surprised to see him slip out of the top ten, if teams are legitimately considering him there.
What contract situation? link? Are you sure you are not thinking about Jonas V? He does have a buyout problem.

What contract situation? link? Are you sure you are not thinking about Jonas V? He does have a buyout problem.
Notes: He is under contract with Partizan until 2013, and unless an NBA team is willing to buy out his contract, he may be the right candidate to get drafted and then allowed to develop even more before he is brought over.
Dang he's under contract until 2013. He seems promising but will he be worth the wait? I just hope Utah wont have to worry about it. Because, they end up getting the 1st pick![]()
If he has a doable buyout he might still be able to come over next season (of course that is if there is a next season). Lets say if it is a million we could pay 500,000 of that and he could pay 500,000. Everyone's favorite Fes had to be bought out.
Byiombo measured 6'7'' 3/4 without shoes. He will be listed at 6'9'' even if he only adds 1 inch with his shoes on. BTW that's a height of a prototypical PF in draft express's mesurement history. But his wingspan is almost 5 inches above average for a C and his standing reach which is more important than height anyways is more than 1 inch above average for a C.
For instance Favors standing reach is 9'2'' and Howard's 9'3'' 1/2. Byiombo's is 9'3''.

... Has an uphill battle after many recent African players before him (Yinka Dare, Saer Sene, John Riek, Kene Obi, etc) have struggled to live up to their hype ...
From NBADraft.net on Biyombo
Now that's a resounding endorsement
Also
Starting to see a trend here with African NBA players in recent years? Other than Ibaka, all have been busts. Lot's of freaky athleticism and length but no basketball skill.

Good thing the Rockets didnt worry about that with Hakeem.

He went ******* 1 for 8 from FT in this game, Round 1 game of that link a poster above posted.
His free throw shooting scares the heck out of me. For crying out loud, I shot 69% on free throws for the season as a freshman in Junior High.
The man still has plenty of time to work out his stroke. He's 21 so that doesn't really bother me much
