Are you kidding me? DC is the best player in the JB era. An All American, #1 pick, all time rebounder and one lucky shot from Final Four MOP as a freshman. He could grab a rebound, dribble the court and either get the assist or score.Honestly, I was thinking about Derrick Coleman last night, only I'm thinking Benny's has a more complete game than DC when he was a freshman. Same height/athleticism. I think when he becomes our top rebounder, the comparison will be more apparent.
Are there ways Benny doesn't compare favorably to DC?
Except he was a drop dead shooterReggie Williams from Georgetown.
For you older folks, how about a taller and beefier Stevie Thompson with a little better shooting skills and better passing skills.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how comparisons workFor you older folks, how about a taller and beefier Stevie Thompson with a little better shooting skills and better passing skills.
seems like a melo/DC/Pearl/Bouie/JW/JimBrownErnieDavisFloydLittle hybrid IMO.
Tony Bruin would like a word with you...So, I am thinking if Stevie Thompson and DC had a baby...and then Billy Owens and Greg Monroe had a baby...and then those two babies had a baby...that would be Benny Williams.
Seriously KrisJo seems like a good comp. I’d even go so far as a destitute mans Carmelo.
We don’t see colors here. Only Orange.Is crossing race even allowed?
Have to agree with the sentiment that Benny is most reminiscent of Benny Williams.
Have to disagree with those who say he's the best passing SU forward...or cite others of recent vintage such as Gbinje or Elijah Hughes or Marek.
No forward...NO ONE who ever played forward in the Boeheim era...could pass like Leo Rautins.
And no one is close.
It's understandable that people who suggest others probably never saw Leo play.
But it's kind of sad that his skills are so largely forgotten.
Almost as sad as the fact his career was crippled by severe knee and back injuries.
I remember this line differently.He runs like Hays and hits like Mays.
