This is one of the better games for them. What are your overall thoughts on Bender and Jackson? I think they all have potential but most are really young. Many people on GB, and some here call them a bust because they are not really good immediately but Bender was the youngest in the NBA last year and like the 15th youngest in the NBA this year. And sat mostly on the bench the year before in euroleague because his team was struggling to not get relegated and playing experienced vets...and they knew he was going to the NBA anyway.
So he was kind of rusty...might have been better had he kept playing in leagues with players his age, and dominating them to come in with more immediate confidence but he works hard to get better (as does Jackson) and is a total team player that will make the team better...getting others involved. He is able to switch on guards well too and disrupt their shots...though there was an inexplicable stretch where many of those shots were going in...but for awhile he was very well rated in defensive fg%.
