Just think -- if we'd played some tomato cans [like usual] instead of Auburn, Villanova, and Indiana, a guy like Benny Williams probably gets somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 minutes.

Which in turn might help him get more comfortable, help him relax and just play [because every possession / mistake wouldn't get amplified, like it does against tougher teams], and maybe provide the opportunity for him to have a big outing or two, or at least have some success to build upon.

The way that things are currently unfolding, Benny is barely going to play during the preseason -- because, we stink and the games are close.  Then, we'll get to the ACC portion, and he'll still be generally unproven and JB won't trust him, so he'll only play token minutes.  The entire year is going to be a waste from a developmental standpoint.

And the most likely outcome is that Benny will be dissatisfied with both his PT and the overall experience of being benched, and could take his five-star talents elsewhere.  I believe that there is a real risk of that happening, given the circumstances.
