25 – Bismack Biyombo, Toronto Raptors – 6’9″ Center
Biyombo isn’t the most well known or stat filling big man on the list, but without a doubt Bismack plays a roll that does not always show up on the stat sheets. Averaging a little under 6 PPG and 8.0 RPG to go along with 1.6 BPG in his first year in Toronto, he is part of the reason they are in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Raptors have played 17 games this postseason, leading the other three teams in games played. Biyombo has a total of 134 rebounds and 100 points to go along with 18 blocks in the playoffs thus far.
Looking back to his rookie season, Biyombo’s +/- has been increasing a great deal, from -16.7 his rookie season to his first (+) season of his career in Toronto with a +4.1 on the court. The 6th year big man has shown a great deal of upside this year, and going into his 7th season Biyombo could make an impact as a rim-protecting, defensive big man.
