Smart player, skilled, but too slow, too small, not a good enough 3pt shooter.

Really like Mullings at MNSU, a physical specimen, sticky hands, smart, I think he CAN play PG fulltime, he has the vision for it and would reduce the impact of his lack of shooting.

Why isn't CoJo playing for Team Canada again?

Why does Bennett look so short on the floor....

But then he dunks so easy...

Maybe his short neck + long arms? I liked how easy that dunk looked for him lol.

He was setting guys up in the first half out of the PNR. Had some nice pocket passes.

yea he's a great passer...definitely the best PG on this team by far.

well I guess you don't dunk with your head.

I'm guessing his standing reach is in the 8'11 range.

He was at the Canada scrimmage too...Raptors not letting him participate pretty sad.

One thing I hope to see the Men's Program do is develop a system and implement it in the age groups so that as guys move up the age group and potentially with the SMNT they would've built a continuity with the players especially with how the FIBA format is changing in order to qualify. That's one thing the Women's Program does a great job of.

saying any 6'3 combo gaurd is a lock top 5 pick is a stretch.

He's def below Skal Labisseire, Ben Simmons, euro guys like Dragan Bender he's also competing with Malik Newman who will have the green light at Mississippi st.

PanAm team is more of a developmental "B" Team. Cojo is expected to be at the FIBA Americas - really the only thing that matters for the SMNT this summer.

I don't care, 2 pts probably ain't going to matter. Just dribble it out
