DeacKillsaDevil Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Benson looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbrinson Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Benson is looking like a beast. His one year in the D-league and couple of games with Golden State helped him. I think Scott can play role on the team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Benson has at the very least earned him an invite to training camp, and quite honestly, they should consider dumping Johan Petro to keep him. I also would keep Benson over signing some slug like Darko Milicic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be best to have Zaza start at C, with Benson as the backup. If Ivan is the backup 4, there's the defensive help. Clearly, defense is a secondary priority to scoring, based on the bench signings we've made thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of the dominant 7 footer have long gone. The NBA today does not have any David Robinsons, Patrick Ewings, or Shaquille O'Neals in their prime. The closest thing to Dikembe Mutombo is Tyson Chandler, who is probably the best 7 footer in the NBA. The best centers in the game today are mostly in th 6'10" to 6'11" range. Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins, Al Horford, and Greg Monroe are probably your best centers in the game going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
