Looked like he was finally starting to settle back into being a pure point forward. Hopefully this doesn't linger for him. I still think he'd be worth a shot.

IIRC, some kind of nerve issue ended Landy Fields' NBA career. Hoping the best for Ben.

I know Landry's was more severe. Like his entire shooting arm was shot to where he could barely bring it up in a shooting motion. I believe Ben's is more mild, like Back spasms-ish. Still not good considering your back is one of the few things you need to do just about everything. Possibly something that could be fixed with dry needling though.

He has to show he can stay on the court though.

Certainly not the player he once was. Such a shame that he fell from grace the way he did. Crazy part about it is that the talent is still there, but the mental games in his head are still lingering.

LA is where he's always wanted to be so lets see if anything changes with his game.Jamaaliver wrote:Spoiler:

I spent years advocating for BS to come here....I'm honestly no longer sure if the 'juice is worth the squeeze'.
