the season hasn't even started yet. Why don't you let it play out . I've gone on record in saying I believe he makes it in the NBA so I don't see what your disagreement is.

This was all said about reasons he would drop in the draft genius.

And he's pretty clearly a day 1 starter, so you're wrong about that one too

And then the whole Mickey comments

Edit: I'm sorry for calling you an idiot. I'm trying to be nicer

Man, I've seen some of your posts before and I've never really thought they were just dumb..but your hatred for Ben comes off as pure ignorant. He's 19...19! He absolutely destroyed college basketball going half speed. If he plays 30-35 minutes a game, it will be impossible for him to not win ROTY. The guy is a talent rarely seen before. He passes like a PG, has the speed of elite players, has the strength and size of post players. His ONLY weakness is shooting. And if anyone watched the summer games, he shot decent jumpshots.

I thought I saw where he only shot 40% in summer league. could be wrong, but that's what I recall.

ETA: Worse than I thought. And this was against summer league talent. Ouch.

He shot 32.2% from the field, 64.3% from the line.

Averaged 10 shots per game on 29 minutes.
