Green Target: Bismack Biyombo's emergence has caught the eyes of Celtics fans

As the 7th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, Bismack Biyombo had become somewhat of an afterthought and bust in some minds due to his raw ability that hadn't be unleashed yet. After spending his first four seasons in Charlotte, Biyombo found his way to Toronto this year and with Jonas Valanciunas out with an injury, the 23-year-old center has finally gotten an opportunity to shine in the playoffs.

Through 18 playoff games, Biyombo is averaging 6.2 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 1.4 BPG while shooting nearly 60% from the field in just over 25 minutes per game. Looking at his per 36 minutes, Biyombo's numbers are extremely impressive at 8.
