You've seen one too. The one I saw was in 10th grade health class: this retarded girl got raped with a broom by a bunch of school jocks. Please don't ask me what we were supposed to learn from this, I couldn't tell you. </p>

I don't know about 1300 and 3.2 in High school...seems merely above average to me. Certainly smarter than a lot of other NBA I guess. Seems like a decent guy. I think if he works hard in Nets training camp, we might see the start of an NBA career. His video camera skills on his blog website are pretty good btw.
I could easily see this guy being the next 'hassan adams:' someone who plays with energy, is charismatic, shows potential and earns the affection of the fans. Hell its not even that hard either, just catch some Jason Kidd alley oops and then sign a max contract.

I don't know if he can contribute more. I guess he has shotbocking and rebounding that Hassan doesn't? However to really get an edge he'll need to knock down that open jumper I keep hearing about.

6-11? Please get Illic off this team. I'd love to get inside the head of Rod Thron and see what his opinion is of Benson. Does he think he can be the next Nets project? Does he admire his shotblocking, scoring, or what? I wish a beat writer would ask him

I don't think he will make the team. But I do think he has to be given credit for stepping up when the chips are down. And that is his record: When Leon Powe went down his junior year, an All-American gone for the year, he stepped up and averaged 14 and 7 in the PAC-10, with 6 double-doubles in conference games, as many as Channing Frye. If he had developed his senior year, instead of tearing his meniscus and fracturing his heel bone, he might very well have been drafted in the second round. Athletic 6'11" forwards, even thin ones, are a commodity teams take chances on, particularly those who step up.</p> </p>
