Anyone else getting tired of people matter-of-factly declaring Bender either a bust or the next big thing this prematurely? Seems like the majority of people who post about him are on one side of these extremes.Newsflash: none of us have any idea. He's an 18 year old with barely any footage on him.

Sure.For a chance at a superstar, I can wait.Bender will NEVER be a superstar. At least it's very, very, very, very unlikely. If he becomes as good as Al Horford then I will consider it a massive over-achievement.

I'd trust Danny if after close up analysis he decided Bender was the guy. If Danny goes in a different direction, I think he's saying that Bender is more of a risk. I'll take a "high floor/ high ceiling" guy over a "low floor/ high ceilng" guy most of the time. If this is how Danny sees Dunn v. Bender, I hope he takes Dunn. Low risk, high reward is my favored way to do business.

Fratello was on NBA TV tonite. Said Bender needs another year in Israel.
Bender is too far away from helping Boston . Need players who can play NOW

Need players who can play NOW This is exactly what the detractors were saying about Porzingis last year... Bender has quicker feet and is a much better ball handler already. Through summer league and training camp he will likely be able to help from the jump starting next year in at minimum a Jerebko role.
