    I would prefer starting Williams and not having Gays contract

    Knew he would be a bust after seeing how Beasley failed in the league. Same thing gonna happen to Bennett.

    Look! Athleticism, potential vs un-atheletic fatty.

    Remind you of anything? Yes, Wiggins vs Parker debate.


    Athleticism? Potential? You mean the Derrick Williams with a 34-inch vert?

    Try harder.

    It's funny b/c Wiggins legitimately has a 10 inch higher vert.

    Well what's not to like about an undersized combo forward who's not particularly good at anything other than running fast and jumping high?

    At least Beasley has basketball talent.

    All three of those guys have different skillsets though.

    Beasley >>>>>> both of them in college, although I will say that Williams and Bennett are comparable. I'd go out on a limb and say that Bennett is more skilled than Williams though.

    Derrick Williams seemed like he had what it took to succeed or at least be a good roleplayer, but he was stuck on some bad Wolves teams. Then he got traded around and pretty much abandoned, so his confidence is shot at this point.

    lol he owned duke in the ncaa tournament so he got overhyped.

    but even tho that was kyrie's second game back from a foot injury, still dropped like 35 on William's team

    I still think Bennett is going to be a good player in this league. The guy shot close to 40% from three as a freshman at UNLV... a better percentage than Brad Beal at the same stage.

    And, he's a natural PF, unlike Williams or Beasley. I don't really think he's all that similar to those two, personally.
