Rank Bennett on the last draft

[mcfly1204]

What makes you put players like Burke or Noel in a tier above Bennett?

[giannidemarco]

He's about top-6 right now; but I think at the end of the day, he'll be a top-2 player of the draft between himself & Olapido.

With Noel, it is potential/ceiling. As for Burke, I don't know. Maybe Fischella really likes Raymond Felton's game?

[fart]

His ceiling is Brandon Bass IMO.

He's Fischella, he knows a lot about nothing. He should be ignored because he is a troll wearing a Chad Ford (lol) mask.

He's a dead-eye shooter.

When I saw Bennett play as a ninth grader, he wasn't even the one of the top 5 kids on the floor. He certainly put in the work and came a long way in a short period of time.

Right now, I think that Noel and Oladipo have a chance to have more prolific careers, but I certainly would go after AB ahead of Alphabet Soup or MCW.

Antetokoumpo, to me, is NOT KD-light (as many have called him). He might be nothing more than a Carlos Rogers type player. Is he athletic? Sure. He's a freak - but something in his game, makes me feel he may not develop the way Bucks fans think.

and with MCW ... I see a good PG putting up decent numbers on a terrible team. I do not see a future star PG. Decent PGs are available in virtually every draft - the special ones are hard to get.

The biggest question I guess for AB is, will he settle in eventually as a 3 who plays some 4, or a 4 who spots at the 3? If it's the latter, he may need to be moved to fully develop.

He's not a small forward, he's not a power forward, he's simply a forward. Every team has guys in the same situation. I don't see any reason he couldn't put up Thad Young type numbers, even if its off the bench here.

Where is this overrating coming from? AB over Giannis, Burke, etc.? One decent month and this?

Anthony Bennett wasn't good as a 9th grader = this has to be considered, look at the fast improvement he's shown.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was hawking knock-off watches in the Athens ghetto and playing in the Greek D2 league a year ago = who gives a **** right?

I liked the pick initially and I'm glad he's playing better but the marginalizing of every other rookie just because Bennett is finally having a month where he looks like an NBA player is kind of ridiculous.

[gflem]

Well, the topic is rank Bennet isn't it? Of course there is going to be the dissection of other top picks games in order to compare them. No sense getting up in arms over it.

[Boarder Patrol]

Giannis, Burke, Oladipo, MCW, Hardaway, Adams and Plumlee have been better imo. So 8th.

[TheOUTLAW]

The bigs have all beenmassively overrated. What the biggest issue Bennett hashad lately is a lack of playing time buthes been productive in limited minutes

[Flight33]

I still think when it's all said and done, he will be the best player from the '13 class.

[tidho]

I wonder if he'd be in the ROY discusion if he'd gotten 20 minutes a night from the start of the season. Things finally clicked a little bit with consistent minutes, its a shame to think that much of the early pain could have been avoided had he been able to work through it.

I don't think he will be the best player in this class, but I don't see any reason he couldn't be top 5....if he gets to play.

[gflem]

I don't think he was capable of 20 per at the start of the season. He clearly needed time to adjust and get into game shape. I wonder what the dynamic in the locker room was at the beginning of the season, I mean with the Bynum experiment and other issues the team obviously had it wouldn't seem to be a good learning environment for such a young player.
