I’m going to defend JB here a bit. First of all, Benny reminds me of a typical freshman that we’ve seen for 40 years. Often times they just don’t come in understanding the speed of the game and how to contribute. That was Benny last year. He’s getting better, he’s just going to need time. 15 years ago Benny wouldn’t sniff the floor because he’d have too much talent in front of him. We’re just seeing the sausage getting made now because the game is changed.

If you take a look at John Bol Ajak, and watch him play, you see somebody who clearly understands what we’re trying to do in knows where to be. The problem with him is that he just doesn’t have a talent of Benny Williams.

Benny on the other hand has all kinds of talent, but he doesn’t have the experience of being in a program for four years like Ajak.

If you combine Benny with Ajak, that is what Coach is looking for. Benny is just not translating his practice performance to the game.

Whether it’s effort or confidence, or whatever, there’s just a tremendous amount of upside with Benny.
