What I'm learning is seeing "flashes" will only take you so far. By season three there better be some consistency or it's game over.

They get a pass...for now.
They need to at least play decent every other game or so next year. Bender better be living in the weight room this off season. I can imagine his confidence going way up with a significant strength gain.

Until Zarko got clobbered by Fortson, I liked him more than Bender. A weight gain may help but I'm not seeing the aggressiveness I would like to see from Bender.

Harrison is impressing me a lot. Plus he has the body to match for a PG.

Wow. Bender drives it to the basket. He can do it if he wants too.

EJ is saying it too. You have to want it Bender.

All I want from Dragan at this point is to be aggressive.

Also, as his beard matures his game should mature. :wink2:

Actually this is the first time I have paid attention to Bender's effort to grow a beard.

Fear the beard? Not quite but getting there.

This is a big opportunity for Reed and he is taking advantage. This is the best I have seen him play.

He has 10 points.

Like the effort from Bender driving to the basket after hitting some 3's.

Nice 3 from Reed. He needed this game and a confidence boost.

This is the Bender I always wanted to see.

The same with Reed not to mention Harrison.

Bender dribbled into a three! I don't know that I've ever seen him take a three that wasn't catch-and-shoot.

Bender playing like an animal... even sending a players to the locker-room although not intentionally.

He’s doing this with literally zero pressure down 25.

I mean, I’m glad he’s doing something but there literally couldn’t be less pressure possible possible in this game.
