looking forward to seeing Shabazz tomorrow in action for UCLA. Hope the NBA helps out the Pelicans in the draft..... again. haha. Its good living in Vegas these days. I went to the UNLV game today. Anthony Bennett is no joke. UNLV is going to make some noise in the tourney.

To be honest he reminds me of Larry Johnson. He is a small forward who could play power forward. he has strength. he's def a scorer. Im telling you now he is going to get UNLV to the sweet 16 this year. He makes 70% of his free throws. He is only a freshman so he has time to develop. He is 230 lbs so he is a big boy ready for the NBA. I think if he is best available we should at think about him. Been to a few UNLV games this year. The guy has impressed me in person

I'm no expert on him, but from what I've seen/read, he's an athletic, undersized power forward. Good scorer, good jump shot for his size, can hit the three and score from the post, so-so on defense.

Comparisons I've read are Paul Millsap and/or Kenneth Faried with a jump shot

As far as being a good pick for the Hornets, if he can play SF, then he'd be an alright pick. That isn't his natural position, and he'd be better srved at PF, which unfortunately is the only position we have depth at on the roster

So no, he wouldn't really be the best pick for the Hornets/Pelicans. If Porter or a quality center or guard is available, we take them before Bennett

Eh, it's kind of the other way around IMO

I do agree we need to address the center/ guard position. But watching Bennett this year has been pretty exciting. And he will help whatever team drafts him.
