BigSoxFan said:I'm not writing off Bennett's career but I am absolutely writing off any chance he has of being a better player than Oladipo over the next 10 years. More evidence tonight: 26 pts, 5 reb. 4 ast, 4 stl, 3 blk. Oladipo is a dynamic player and Bennett can barely tie his shoe without pissing himself.
Why isn't Bennett in Canton (D-League), working on improving his game? I know he was first pick and all, but the Thunder send most of their draft picks to play for their D-League affiliate in Tulsa during their first year. Lamb, PJIII, Reggie Jackson -- all these guys did time in Tulsa before getting significant minutes with the Thunder. These young guys needed to play a lot and to work on different parts of their game. Now, they're still pretty young, but they're in a better position to make contributions to big league team.
