2011 NBA Mock Draft: New York Knicks Rumored to Have Interest in Bismack Biyombo

Is Biskmack Biyombo?s 2011 NBA Draft Stock On The Rise?

Congolese prospect Bismack Biyombo is starting to garner more attention from NBA teams, and he just may be a trade up target for the New York Knicks.

Jonathan Givony of Draft Express reported on his Twitter account that the Knicks are hoping Biyombo will fall to them, but are considering moving up.

The Knicks are hoping Biyombo drops to them at 17. That's unlikely, so they're exploring moving up. May have to jump ahead of Warriors at 11

While this is certainly interesting news, I am not sure if jumping ahead of the Warriors will be high enough.

Biyombo will be seeing the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, and from everything I have heard out of Pistons nation I am positive that they are very high on drafting Biyombo.

The Pistons have pick No.8 of the 2011 NBA draft, and there isn?t even a guarantee that Biyombo will fall that far.

Either way, it appears that?s Bismack Biyombo?s 2011 NBA draft stock is really starting to rise.
