Keith Benson 

Post#1 » by dtown8 » Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:58 am

I think Keith Benson is going to be on the Hawks' summer league squad this year, and it looks like Benson has added 20lbs of muscle. He is at 230lbs, which is okay, but he still should keep at it and try to hit the 240lbs - 250lbs range. im interested to see how he does in the summer league, maybe he can find a spot behind or ahead of Petro

Elijah Millsap is also going to be on the squad. i watched Elijah a few times last year and i do like his game, he reminds me of Wesley Matthews when he was coming up with the Jazz. Elijah's calling card has been his 3pt shooting and rebounding, now that Joe and Marvin are gone, the Hawks could really use a player like Wesley Matthews, and maybe Elijah can fill that role.

MC at the AJC says:

•Keith “Kito” Benson is back, too. Word is he looked much the same during today’s scrimmage–timid and getting knocked around–but Benson says he’s gotten stronger and plans to have an “aggressive mindset” this time around.


Hmmm. Hope he gets a legit shot this go round with summer league, a real training camp and preseason.

He already has a legit shot. The only thing wrong is that hes small and can get easily bullied in the nba.
