Do any of you guys think Benn could be a similar player to Mitchell going forward starting at the SG for the Pacers?
I’m really not sure if he can get to Mitchell levels because of the Pacers offense being more of an offense which features so many different players nightly. It’s common for us to have 6-7 players in double figures each game which can limit the continual big individual scoring performances. If Benn is going to have a high scoring average it would be this season with Tyrese’s scoring being split up between others.
I think Benn has a different scoring approach than Mitchell as Mitchell has a green light to be the aggressive leading scorer on the Cavaliers. I think Benn has started trying to play more in our offensive system than free lance which he can do. So I personally think Benn can have a career year but I don’t think he’ll hit Mitchell levels this season. The future is bright and he could breakout after this season with another team situation or if the Pacers give him more of a feature roll alongside Tyrese once he’s healthy.
