Most people who've never played just see a 6'8 guy & laugh at the thought.


He wouldn't even be the first. Magic Johnson played point guard at 6'9" and did pretty decent if I remember. I, however, agree with the person who said he be used like LeBron. A SF who facilitates the offense.

Slow ya roll, OP. He is not playing the 1 in the NBA. He has the makings of an elite 3. Taking the ball up the court doesn't make you a 1. Who you can and do defend determines your position as much as your dribbling acumen and court vision.

This isn't to take anything away from Benny, but this thread is kind of silly.

That's pretty much what Magic was. Magic was a point forward, not a 1.
