Tweener is generally means that a guy does not have the measurable to play position A and not skilled enough to play position B.

Just because a prospect can and has played both positions doesn't make him a tweener.

Westbrook - not good enough at passing/ running offense to play pg, too short to play sg

Get off me bud. He's a classic example of a sg pg tweener

Get off Bennett, son. Who was the last successful athletic SF/PF tweener to succeed in the NBA?

Really? He averaged 4.3 APG in college playing PG with Collison and averaged 7apg in his career at OKC.

Straight off wiki for you:

"Tweener" may also describe a player who combines the attributes of a shooting guard and point guard, but does not fit the prototype of either position. Such guards usually play a shooting guard-type game (looking more to score than to pass) but lack the height to guard opposing shooting guards effectively and some of the skills to direct an offense that a "pure" point would display. Such players are also known as "combination (or combo) guards". But after the success of Dwyane Wade during the 2004-05 NBA season, there has been less of a stigma attached to the term and many current elite prospects are combo guards, such as Randy Foye, Eric Gordon, O. J. Mayo, and Russell Westbrook.

Yes, because citing a website where anyone can edit the page is the end all and be all of citation.

Bennett's gonna be good, but he's a 4....If it's all about BPA (i don't really think it is), I guess he should be considered. He could end up being the top player in this draft.

Larry Johnson.

Who most compare Bennett too.

I don't want him either, I was just answering the question.

I'd rather Saric or Len than Bennett.
