He might end up being a Kwame-sized bust but it's still sooooo early. W/o having watched much of him, it seems like he manages to find good looks inside; there's a chance that he's just in some transitional period for his shot-timing. Also, pretty tough to ignore the fact that dude turned into a butterball (via non-shooting arm shoulder injury, which is kinda suspect since he should still have been able to work in some kind of cardio work)-- I'd imagine the Cavs staff will drill out 20lbs as fast as they can. Unless Bennett is a stress-eater, in which case gonna be a miserable season for him.

he was an absolute beast in college. Shot 74% at the rim. And now he can't make wide open dunks.

crazy how out of shape he looks compared to that ripped before pic
― lag∞n, Sunday, 1 December 2013 01:01 (ten years ago) link
like what exactly was he up to in the offseason
just gorging on poutine

naw his face and arms and everything

Those are some crazy Dwight-esque shoulders in the first pic though.
Maybe he has psychological issues like Kwame. Although there isn't a Jordan or Kobe on the team to grind his psyche into a fine mash
― 乒乓, Sunday, 1 December 2013 01:04 (ten years ago) link
Kinda fucked up that Kwame had to endure abuse from two of the most psychopathic players to ever play the game. I would be on so much Prozac

didnt help that he was unable to catch a basketball
― lag∞n, Sunday, 1 December 2013 01:07 (ten years ago) link
Yeah
I think I read somewhere that that was partly due to his severe performance anxiety or something
― 乒乓, Sunday, 1 December 2013 01:08 (ten years ago) link
lot of pressure for sure
― lag∞n, Sunday, 1 December 2013 01:09 (ten years ago) link
He shoulda trained like Yao Ming when Yao was in a cast. Just sat in a wheelchair with people throwing at him tennis balls volley balls all sorts of balls. Catching them all, not giving a fuck, thinking about making wine

Also I think he has like 10+ siblings and they grew up impoverished. Probably Matt Armstrong's basketball.xls has more deets. But definitely can imagine the stress when you're the only one who made it and you have to think about providing for your entire family

Fucked up that you have to be a member to buy his wines. Yao, sell me your wines

Seems like they're exporting them exclusively to China. When I'm there next year I'm gonna see if I can buy a bottle. I'll drink it and liveblog it on ILH

man that bennett tape is gruesome
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 1 December 2013 06:22 (ten years ago) link
that missed dunk against the timberwolves is like the nba version of "the scream"
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 1 December 2013 06:23 (ten years ago) link
also when he makes a basket the cavs announcers act like he's a 13 year old cancer patient who is playing in an nba game thanks to make a wish
that said i still feel like even in watching that tape you can tell why he was the no. 1 overall pick
his shooting form is really good and for a guy his size he looks good off the dribble. hopefully it's just a combination of conditioning and wild pressing.
