One more name - Toni Kukoc
He is a very willing passer, unselfish.
Both are similar in size, with Bender being a bit longer and stronger at this age.
For the croatians sports newspapers Toni described Bender basicaly as:
"He is very talanted, he has a long way to go."
Kukoc is generaly very critical, probably due to his high standards. He won everything at every playing level multiple times. Except olympic gold in 1992, but that's a gold in my book.
Bender will have one opportunity Toni didn't have.
He won't be bulked up just for the sake of being stronger.
In the 90s streinght was sacreficed for the sake of quickness and agility.
