He's back! Chad Ford 1.0 for 2016

[Beat LA]

There's a guy named Diamond Stone?  Bahaha . Man, you guys are really early on this draft.  I don't even know any of these players yet.

If Bender is a SF, so is Dirk. The kid is 7'1''.

Jonathan Bender was a "small forward" at 7'0".

Are they related?

Not in the slightest. Jonathan Bender is an African-American from Mississippi.  Dragon Bender is Croatian.

Oh, I knew that, but I wanted to know if they were related. 

well they both claim this guy is their 2nd cousin so they may be distantly related.

Ben Simmons is the real deal.  You guys are going to love watching him play at LSU this year.  He can play 4 positions...Potentially 5 in the NBA as he matures.  Just an absolute natural.  He could play in the NBA right now

Its funny that bender doesn't or never got a ton of hype here in Mississippi, Mo Williams Monta, and Al Jefferson are those who were beloved. Newman is a stud he has been the next big thing since he was in 8th grade. Wish he would have signed with Ole Miss instead of Mississippi State because yall would have seen him deep into march madness. I doubt MSU makes it at all.
