PF/SF - ANTHONY BENNETT (6'8" 240 LBS)
A COMBO FORWARD THAT CAN CAUSE MISMATCHES FOR BOTH BIGGER AND SMALLER FORWARDS. HE IS A BEAST OFFENSIVELY AND SURPRISINGLY QUICK FOR HIS SIZE WITH A LONG WINGSPAN AT 7'1" THAT VIRTUALLY MAKES HIM A 6'9" PLAYER. HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME IN THE LEAGUE AND SCORE IMMEDIATELY, WHICH SHOULD MAKE HIM ONE OF THE FAVORITES TO WIN ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING HE CAN'T DO OFFENSIVELY, BUT HIS ABILITY TO DEFEND MAY BE A CONCERN. HE MAY NOT BE QUICK ENOUGH TO STAY IN FRONT OF SMALL FORWARDS ON A CONSISTENT BASIS AND THERE ARE QUESTIONS AS TO IF HE CAN DEFEND TALLER AND BIGGER POST PLAYERS AT HIS NATURAL PF POSITION.
BEST NBA COMPARISON: ELTON BRAND
Note: The current or past NBA player comparisons for these prospects do not indicate that I'm predicting that they will be as good or as bad.
