Too slow? I just like the ability to go from traditional five to stretch five and the ability to go twin towers against the likes of the Lakers.

Scope it out, dude is hitting 44% from three this season. Well he's only taken 9 but still, stretch five baby!!!

The Bucks waived him to bring in a bona fide NBA player onto the team to help win a championship.

His ability to do that is one of the main reasons he was drafted as high as he was.

No substitute for experience, no question about that. Still and I get the impression you might agree, it looks like low hanging fruit from my perspective.

Is this accurate? I know he could play the 4 or 5 but his switchability is good? I’ve admittedly never seen him play but he looks big and like he’d semi-lumber and not be that quick.
Semi lumber isn't what I think of when I see him.
I think more along the lines of twig branch.

Well in this case I think it's more about having that slot already filled with Brook and Robin Lopez. Bender did play three games as the Bucks backup center to Brook (all blowout wins) until R. Lopez returned from injury.

Bucks have a young center with their GLeague team Brandon McCoy who was a McDonald's All American, went to UNLV for a year and then went undrafted. He has as much potential as Bender.

Right? Which is another indication that the kid is not being cut for performance or for conduct.
