Fact or Fiction: Anthony Bennett will be in the NBA in 5 years?

If Kwame could stay in the league for so long, so can he. Being a bust doesn't mean he can't be a servicable role player. Just needs a year or two more for experience & he should improve in a big way. Currently the game is too fast for him & he doesn't have patience to make the right plays, rushes his shot & some attempts are way more difficult than they should be.

Actually, his stats are very much the same as Kwame's 1st season numbers.

Dirk Nowitzki averaged 8/3/3 on 41/21/77% his rookie season.

If he can just develop into a reliable rotation guy who can provide something positive, I can definitely see him playing for the Heat.

Michael Beasley is still in the L, and so is Derrick Williams. He has a shot.

[Doctor Jay]

he will be a decent role player, maybe playing for a contender

Beasley has skills on the offensive end though. It's his attitude, work ethic, and defense.

He will not only be in the league, but he will be a starter.

Unlike Kwame, Bennett is an undersized tweener PF/SF. So I don't think he will be in the league..or if he is he will be on 10 day contracts or just getting ready to hit the door out of the league.

He was also a 7 footer with a historically unique skillset, even then. As far as rookie seasons go his was more comparable to Giannis: low statistical production but obvious upside (not suggesting they'll have similar careers, plenty of players with amazing upside busted out). Bennett can be a nice player but he's yet to show he has anything exceptional to bank on.

Exactly. No one has heard from him since.

Dude misssed training camp and came in overweight after a shoulder injury.....

Take it easy on the big fella.

He produces when he plays

[HomieWeMajor]

Anthony will recieve a MAX contract before its all said and done

[ralph_i_el]

Anthony Bennett worst case is Udonis Haslem IMO. He'll be fine
