Surely, NBA scouts see that. Does anyone think that his offensive skills are so extraordinary so as to compensate for an inability to defend? Is he going to be a first team All American?....second team?....third team?.....doubtful....honorable mention, perhaps.

It's too bad. I surely hope that I'm wrong and that scouts "know" that defense is teachable at their level...and feel that his college coaches just didn't know what buttons to push. In a few months we'll know.
I have to agree. I have commented on his defensive ability (efforts) enough. To switch it up a bit....

Call me crazy, but at this point, I honestly believe that the player that may be getting NBA interest is Josh Benson. He may not be dropping double doubles, but with his limited experience so far in his college career, his skill set is something that shows potential.

His footwork is good, effort, hustle, lateral movement, straightline speed and agility for a big, shooting form, free throws, etc...I think that we are going to be pleasantly surprised with his game at the end of his career here.
