Ok , Benny Williams

[GoSU96]

Where did that come from?

 

[djcon57]

prob had a good practice or finally accepted JBs coaching.

Performing pre-portal.

A lot of teams will be impressed v. Duke.

Good for him.

 

[phil77]

He clearly isn't ready

 

[HOFCeluck]

He made shots.

 

[OrangeDW]

The answer to the question “what would happen if we just played Benny 30 minutes in a game” is: 14 points on 7 shots, 6 rebounds, and way better defense than any of the starters.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Took his time and wasn’t spazy. Maybe the lightbulb went off and the game started slowing down for him.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Let’s not go overboard on one performance. Happy he played well, but I’m still skeptical.

 

[orangefog]

He got some real run and played with confidence.

Against a top 5-10 team.

 

[Orangello]

Hey other coaches I'm over here (wave).

 

[Grbac]

Wonder how JB will spin his performance to credit himself and deflect any criticism of his playing time this year.

 

[orangefog]

So, I really hope we get at least Jesse, Frank, Benny, Symir and Joe back. Hopefully Cole too. But add the freshmen (I really hope Mintz is one of them) and that is a complete squad.

He literally said he’ll be here.

Huh

^^^^^^^
This plus showing some aggressive play and feeling like he belonged on the floor.

 

[phil77]

Mods locked the other Benny thread good call by them I was probably going to get banned LOL. I was about ready to call out some people who called me stupid.

Would love to be wrong on my prediction in that regard...

 

[phil77]

About 3 minutes into his rotation he made a defensive mistake and the coach didn't pull him and he responded. Against lesser teams, Cole and Jimmy look great so not putting Benny back in is an option against Duke when Cole and Jimmy look like the JV squad the coach had no choice but to let your best athlete play.

I’m the furthest thing from a JB apologist but come on, Benny could barely function as a basketball player this year prior to tonight. He’s had opportunities. That being said, I’m very happy for him for how he played tonight and hope it continues.

 

[BillSU]

Benny finally showed us what he is capable of tonight, what we were expecting. JB should play him more IMO for more minutes to see the result. Looked really good tonight!

When? I missed that. Hope it’s true!

When has pulling guys after 1 mistake ever worked in the history of basketball?
Nobody plays mistake free….not LeJohn, Jordan, Carmelo, nobody.
