The Suns

I’m so upset about that because we had Miami’s top 10 protected pick.  Miami took Winslow who woudln’t have been bad for the Sixers, but I really wanted Booker.

Booker has this Muhammad Ali flair to him.  RJ Hunter is a good shooter, but Booker at 18 is so much more solid than RJ Hunter who is also not a rookie.  

Booker destroyed him and you don’t even really know why, other than Booker rarely makes mistakes and even when he does you just overlook them and are on to the next play where he hits a smooth jumper.

Man the Sixers missed out on Booker, so many close oppotunities but luck hasn’t fallen their way.  OKC lottery protected and Miami top 10 protected.  We coudl’ve had some studs.

I like Luwawu and Korkmaz, but they ain’t no Devin Booker.

Kid is impressive at every level he plays in the last 3 seasons, the definition of an overachiever, he should be an nba-er despite his stature i guess, he’s so smart with the ball and alert without the ball, his rebounds-touch passes were pretty sick, lebron has 10+ inches and 110+ pounds on him LOL.

A "150 pounder rookie PG", 58 minutes….1 turnover, 2 fouls, 9 steals, 12 assists, probably unparalleled in the history of the sloppy summer league.

Chris Paul’s mind…in a smaller TJ ford’s body.

On booker "the 19yo veteran trash talker", he was the best passer in the entire summer league, playing alongside a true point…it says a lot about him, the player he’ll become.

That was a nice starting 5(booker is done) 3 lotto picks, the SEC player and defensive player of the year, and the bruiser alan williams averaging 14 and 12 with some devastating screens.

Bender is 2 years and 25 pounds away, nothing new on the horizon, no need to overreact after a bad game, it won’t be the last..

He should have come at 20yo with playing time under his belt and a more nba ready body, not as the youngest player in the league, as a 3rd stringer in a losing team.

For all the holes in his game at this stage(couldn’t post up players with 8 inches on them), i like his feets, he can handle the ball, he moves the ball with purpose, he should be an OK shooter with range, the mechanic is here.

He’s not dumb nor lazy, he’s 7’1 at the start of a game and he’s still 7’1 at the end…of the bench.

reminds me of Brandon Rush, only Rush was hitting all his shots in college.

Rush is this taylormade NBA player, has the look, but for some reason none of his shots fall.

All we are doing is comparing him to Porzingis.  Porzingis shot is much more balanced and fluid and other-worldly. 

Some players the first time you see them play you know they are special.  I don’t see it in Bender.  Bender may be the Bargnani or Gallinari type Euro player….

Either that or his frame needs to get a lot stronger.  His legs make him seem a step too slow though, and that shot is shaky.

Melo makes no one better.  I owe it more to Porzingis 7′ frame and his God-given ability to shoot.

Bender’s shot is nowhere as nice as Porzingis and I think its because Porzingis frame is so much more solid than Bender’s.

Porzingis has very good lateral movement while Bender looks a step slow.

Porzingis is a far better prospect.  You saw the wow-factor from day 1 with Porzingis.  

Bender needs to get stronger, faster.  Time will tell.  We coudln’t find much video on Bender it was a lot of hype.  I was caught into that hype.  But now that I’ve seen him play he seems like a bust potential.  Then again, we could say the same for Ingram based on his shot.  Ingram has shown athleticism and quickness that Bender doesn’t have.
