I’m with u I wanted him or trey lyles just because I thought their skill set and size where what we needed and we’re missing at PF. Bennett might be better just because he has more defensive potential. I can see him putting up 12/6 like dmo did that one year if he can get 25 mpg which I see no reason he can’t. He’s much better than faried who put up 13/8 playing with Harden. I’m not a Russ fan but he will flourish in this offense also when he’s running the second unit with Gordon house and this guy. All shooters and a lot of space plus bennet can roll for him. Russ will be good for us if him and harden can figure out how to play with each other for the 16-20 min their both on the court together. But separate with Bennet it’s going to be amazing. I stand by that.

While Bennett might surprise, and make the team (which I highly doubt), I sure don't see him getting anything but garbage time at most, much less meaningful minutes. We are a serious contender for all the marbles. Don't get me wrong, I'll root for the guy, but.....
Um can he defend anyone and play more than 20 mins in the G league? Can he switch and guard a pg much less a mobile big? Yes your great basketball mind found a star hidden in the g league that 20+ gm's had no clue about... wheres the eyeroll gif Let's slow your roll a bit
Had no clue this this guy was still around, but after looking at his G league highlights, I like it a lot. It looks like he can do everything that the Rockets need out of a back up 4/5. I have a feeling that we are going to see a very fast team next year.
Holy ****! I didn't know Bennet could knock 3s. Very fluid. How much weight has he lost? Looks a BB player now.
Lol he wont be better then Faried...come.on guys yall going overboard. His shot does look nice. But in think we raising expectations to high...atleast with house u saw him on a real NBA team. We havent seen him play NBA guys in how many years
faried was street agent too and looked awesome in this scheme. He was a number 1 pick for a reason, if he can get motivated he might be a huuuge pick up for us
Faried hadn’t played basketball in 3+ years before he cane here. He’s also unsigned and looking for a vet minimum deal if he can even get that. Meanwhile bennet just signed a contract. If you can catch a pass and dunk harden will make u look good. This guy can do what faried did last year on offense but he’ll actualky hit his threes and play better d Now rebounding I’ll give faried that. But I’ve been on the Bennet bandwagon for awhile in surprised somebody didn’t sign him before us. He’s in shape been a good guy in the locker room in the gleague and hit 43% of his 3s the last 3 season down there. Guy was the number one pick for a reason he has so much natural ability but his immaturity and weight held him back. He was drafted at 18 years old went from unknown in college to the number 1 pick and got a big head but got humbled real quick and now he’s grown up and ready to ball. Rockets got a steal I’ll be shocked if he’s not only not on the the team but not logging real minutes for us this season. He’ll play great with Russ Gordon house and the rest of the second unit.
Even if he made the team Mike Dantoni would have to be halfway to West Virginia for him to see the court.
Sorry to disappoint you, but he still doesn't count as a "primary star" until he actually does it at the NBA level.
