Is Dewayne Dedmon This Year's Version of Bismack Biyombo?

Dedmon is having a terrific year for the Spurs, and it looks awfully similar to Biyombo's performance last year with the Raptors.

Dewayne Dedmon's professional career has changed significantly in the past 12 months.

A year ago, he was toiling away as a sparsely-used big man for the Orlando Magic. Still, for a guy that didn't start playing organized basketball until his senior year of high school before going undrafted out of USC in 2013, forging an NBA career was never going to be a cake walk.

The athletic Dedmon bounced around the league in 2013-14, catching on briefly with Golden State and Philadelphia before finding a home in Orlando, where he spent the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
