hes the third best PF on the roster, behind two very solid players in tristan thompson and anderson varejao. few rookies would get PT ahead of those two guys

hes gotten some minutes at the 3 recently, and hes been a little better, but its not his natural position.

I don't think that's the issue. In today's NBA Varejao is a 5 and for the most part he splits minutes at center with Bynum. On the other hand Bennett was counted on to provide instant offense off the bench from the front-court; and has not shown himself to be good enough to handle that role.

eh maybe maybe not. Too soon to really tell how he's gonna turn out.

As someone else said he's behind TT and Andy V. who are both pretty decent PFs. Coming in out of shape didn't do him any favors. He's still carrying baby fat he gained during the offseason while he was in that shoulder sling.

He takes max maybe like 2 shots a game now. Hard to get into a rhythm when you are playing less than 10 minutes and not touching the ball.

According to the cavs FO they didn't view any of the top lottery picks as starters. They knew they were going to draft a guy that was gonna come off the bench anyways.

His biggest issues right now are fitness and confidence. Both seem to be improving slowly.

Bennett was never counted on for anything. He doesn't get touches when he's out there. Jarret Jack is literally the worst guard he could be playing with and it seems like that's whose always out there with him.

I'm not defending him or Cleveland but he had surgery on his shoulder in the offseason and was not in shape at the start of the season. He is clearly not in shape yet. That being said, he's played terribly. I however, don't want to judge someone based on a small sample of games in their rookie year. Give the dude some time maybe he'll still suck maybe he won't we'll have to wait and see.

no way

I watched a Cleveland game recently. The guy that was being guarded by Bennett kept going at him and Bennett had 3 quick fouls. He looks lost on defense. They know he's a liability and they go at him on offense.
