Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 4235614, member: 393"] It seems reasonable that Carey's skill set and athleticism as a 7 footer sets the bar high for his "potential." I am very much in this camp. Eventual productivity on the court is a different issue. Some posters seem to struggle with that distinction when they hear posters talk about Carey's ceiling. You can LOVE Carey's potential while also understanding his ability to gain strength and weight, gain experience, and the degree of his mental readiness to perform at this level will also determine how good he is or will be. We have seen something similar, at least IMO, play out with Benny this season. High ceiling but not yet fully ready to meet his potential. You can't fake the skill set Benny demonstrated on tape playing against high level competition in prep school. I think we will see a different Benny this season if he is ready mentally. [/QUOTE]
