FWIW: Just in time for the Ainge family to be in Israel scouting him, Bender played large minutes in this latest round of the IBSL playoffs (Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv vs Bnei Herzelia). Maccabi won both games:
In Monday's game, Bender played 26 minutes off the bench. He scored only 2 points (1 of 4 shooting including 0-2 from three), but grabbed 7 rebounds, blocked 2 shots and 1 steal.
In yesterday's game, Bender played 23 minutes off the bench, scoring 11 points (5 of 11 shooting including 1 of 6 from three), grabbed 7 rebounds again, dished 1 assist and blocked another shot.
I don't know yet if Danny was in attendance for the game or not. I only know he was headed there.
