almost all those young guys are in the future Mock drafts. They had more potential NBA talent than Canada as a whole, Bennett beasted on a legit team as did Murray.

Most are projected as 2nd rounders besides Melo Trimble (I've seen late lotto) and Denzel Valentine (late first). Besides those two, that team does not consist of an NBA future.

I looked it up for myself...Just search the each young player on Google and you'll find out for yourself.

That's still NBA though. I've also seen some of those guys projected higher depends where you look. Canada has 2 NBAer, Bhullar who is there for marketing and future pros in Murray and maybe Brooks and Heslip....The rest I don't think has a chance to ever crack a lineup. Also, most of those young guys are already Bennett's age.

Front-court guys Draft Express Ranks:

Tarczewski (19th Junior)
Prince (28th Junior)
Long (30th Junior)
Hollings (NBA wash-out)
Randolph (NBA wash-out)

These guys are exactly what I said they were...

It doesn't matter how many NBA guys Canada has...the point is Bennett is playing well against guys who will never amount to anything in the NBA. It doesn't mean anything other than a nice confidence boost for AB.

I never said they would be good in the NBA, I said they were NBA talent. You originally said they weren't NBA talent and they are.

A lot of 2nd rounders make it though. They might not be stars but a lot still make it and those guys probably will if they are on the US team (it's the Euros that are usually wasted). Dwight Powell, Norman Powell, and Jordan Clarkson were all 40th pick for instance

U originally said "Or maybe he hates playing against nba talent". Key word nba talent nbacommish has a point.

Sure they aren't USAs best talent or even close to it. But this was still a great win for Canada. Gonna be interesting to see how they do in the qualifiers in late August

Right now they're only as good as they are, you know right now. To have success Bennett is going to have to play well against top 15 NBA PF's. Not 30th ranked college Juniors. I can't believe this is even a discussion.

True, that was a mistake. Should have thrown legit in there.

Great game. I really wish Masai can find a way to pick Bennett up for cheap.
