    Newly mentioned James White was injured. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

    Benson is like Shane Battier 2. Very articulate.

    What is Benson's game like? I hope White gets better soon. I want to see if he has made some progress.

    Averaged a double-double in the D-League for 1 season. The other one was like 11/7.

    He had a 28 point 28 rebound game though.

    I've heard that Brad Newley was great in europe league last year and many other NBA scouters had inquired us about him. I want to see this guy in red uniform.

    Nah - that's not right.

    His first D-League season was 13 and 12 with 1.6 bpg.
    His seoncd D-League season was 16.2 and 8.5 with 2.6bpg.

    He's a big guy 6'10 235lbs - but more of a PF than a C is what I would've thought.

    What are you talking about? They started off asking Rod Benson about Twilight a book series for teen girls.

    TheTwilight interest makes him more like Amaechi 2.0. Intelligent and gay.

    Rod Benson is Shane Battier's replacement. Morey is for sure trading Shane now. You don't need two articulate guys on the team.

    I've never seen someone that big with a voice that high, or rather, not-low, since most big guys just have really deep voices. I don't know if his eloquence is a plus or minus: plus I guess in that most marginal big men (and half of the good big men too) would be twice as good if they weren't so dumb (COM'ON, DUHWIGHT!). Minus I guess in that it makes me think that he's soft. Or at least Channing Frye-esque: lanky and horizontally challenged.

    um...like...um...like, like...um

    He doesn't sound that articulate to me....corny, yes...

    He's no Ben Wallace but he doesn't sound as intelligent as Battier. He does sound like an interesting character, i might need to check out his blog.
