More On Bismack Biyombo: Gallery
Although he began the year as the Hornets’ backup center, Bismack Biyombo ended his ninth NBA season as a valuable member of the team’s on-court rotation and its most experienced veteran leader in the locker room.
Playing behind Cody Zeller at the five, Biyombo averaged just over seven points on 62 percent shooting and three rebounds over his first 16 appearances of the campaign, which included one start. He broke out for a season-high 19 points in a home win over Detroit on Nov. 27 and two nights later, made a crucial block in the final minute to help beat the Pistons again on the road.
