    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Benjamin, a first-round pick by the Chicago Bulls in 1998, played for the Bobcats in the Minnesota summer league. He played four positions in five games and averaged 7.4 points and 1.8 rebounds.

    ``Corey Benjamin is a player we believe can help our team with his athleticism and ability to play multiple positions on the court, both offensively and defensively,'' Bobcats general manager Bernie Bickerstaff said.

    Benjamin entered the NBA draft after his sophomore season at Oregon State and was selected 28th overall by the Bulls. He averaged 5.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 144 NBA games with the Bulls.</div>

    Well, he better make the most of this. He has been trying for 6 years to get a foothold in the NBA and has yet to accomplish it. Another example of a player coming out too soon and never making it.

    Well he better make the most of this, opportunities(sp?) like this don't come along every day, and if he blows this, he may not ever get that chance again. Plain and Simple.

    From what I heard, he wasn't doing half bad, well wait and see when the season comes.
