Really if bender is the player that the people who ae supposed to know basketball think he is, then picking him over Ingram isn’t much of a reach. The biggest issue people have with Bender is the limited sample of work available to the general fan. The Lakers and Celtics were in Israel. They saw him play live. They saw him practice live. Teams have been following Bender since 2013, even before he put up 11 points on Porzingis in a tournament that year. I think Bender’s a floor is a 7’1 Mike Miller, which would be great, and his ceiling is something we haven’t seen yet.
