“A rare combination of strength, power and skill, Biliew has elite ability to play low-post defense, rebound, block shots and take charges. He’s a tremendous lob threat as well as a screen and roll target, but also, his 3-point point shot has developed and he’s become a viable threat to be a short, straight-line driver. What makes him special is he cares about his teammates and plays with big heart.”
