Anthony Bennett - Turning the Corner or Fluke

[Moranis]

another respectable game for Bennett.  14 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals with 2 turnovers and 4 fouls in 22 minutes.  Not shooting great yet, but playing fairly solid defense and seems to be in much better shape now than at the beginning of the year.

Now if he can just play like this when his team isn't down 20!

Or if he isn't playing a team with 6 men in the second half when he got it "going".

Edit: Are you going to post in this thread every time he gets a GMscore above 10?

I didn't after his 2nd to last game.  I waited until two respectable games in a row.

You think his Dallas game was respectable?

All I can think of is the "Lowered Expectations" sketch from Mad TV.

not really but he did have 11 points, which was all I was saying.

Bennett has actually looked a lot better the last week or so.  He is moving a lot better, is giving great effort and energy, and actually looks like he could be a pretty solid NBA player some day.  He is still incredibly raw, has a long way to go, and never should have been the #1 pick, but he looks like he will have a pretty solid career if he can stay healthy and if he keeps working at it.

So it only took him 4 months into the season to be in NBA game ready shape?

Coming off an injury and not having a rookie training camp can seriously delay a player's development. Having a bad coach and a disorganized front office can't help either. I still think he will be very good, just not number one pick worthy
