I remember some of you guys were hard on Beal when he was drafted and even a month or 2 into the season. Bennett fits better with Wall & Beal than Porter.
What're u seein' that the rest of us aren't?
We about to draft Corliss Williamson with the third pick in the draft.
It's shyt like this that really makes me wonder why in the fukk am I still a fan of this fukking franchise.

dude will have to deal with Lebron, Melo, George on a consistent basis. His wingspan won't matter against those guys
You never take a tweener that high. If we were late lottery or mid 1st, I'd take the chance but not top 5.
Hell, I'd rather have Kelly Olylynk or Zeller than Bennett. They at least compete defensively and try. Bennett gives no effort or attention to defense. It's worse than Jamison. Nene and Okafor and Wittman already have enough trouble with lazy ass Seraphin missing rotations. Bennett is just horrible there and it outweighs his offensive upside which isn't as high as people make it. His handles aren't elite, he plays iso ball, and his moves off the bounce ain't fooling no one in the NBA..

Bennett is a pretty dynamic player. He has a explosive 1st step and a great jumpshot. He's a mix match on the offensive end. You remember last year when Wall would pick and pop with Okafor?
Even with Nene was 
cause he refused to shoot. Bennett appears to be the type of player that not only can you pick and pop but his ball handling is great. Not just great as a PF/SF but great overall. He will drive on bigger players, stop and pull up for the J or take it on them. A lot of wizards fans want Porter cause of that Gtown connection. They wont admit its tied into their bias but I see past that. The Wizards have a chance of having a very dynamic team. Porter role on this team wouldn't be that great, seeing that Wall has the ball in his hands most of the time and Beal is gonna have more plays run for him. Porter would not spread the floor like Bennett will. I have a hard time imagining Porter blowing past forwards in the NBA. He plays smart but he's not that athletic and has a low ceiling.
In the NBA,you need a competent Big and small. Can't depend on Nene(30..Shoulder, foot) and Okafor(31yrs old, knees?) for much longer. Bennett has his faults, his defense and effort can be really poor at times but I do not expect him to start out the gate. Who else best to teach him how to play better defense than the 5th ranked best defensive team last year? I know Wittman won't put up with his bs and poor effort. Wittman called out Wall in his 1st year 1st day he got promoted to Head coach. He can learn a lot from Nene and Okafor. I don't expect him to to improve from a D to a B+ but if he can become a C+ in his 3rd yr or so, while keeping his offensive potential, then he's more than worth it. When ever he clicks you can bet you'll see Wall's assist go up 1-2.5.
One thing to note, While only being 6'7 or so, he's pretty light on his feet. He'll most likely learn to take charges on the next level to make up for his deficiencies.
