Take a look at the sixers roster. They have mcw,wroten and maynor playing pg. They are not just going to take jj without an incentive to do so.
I guess I dont value bennet as much as much as you. i like him more that tt though.
We forget that Philly loved Bennett last year and likely would have drafted him had he been available. Supposedly, they had Bennett, Noel and Oladipo on their wishlist. Obviously Bennett and Oladipo went 1-2, so they took Noel after the Holiday trade.
Philly may covet Waiters, but I wouldn't trade him for Young, and that's coming from a guy who really likes Young's game. Bennett still has value to a team like Philly, who just needs young talent with good potential right now. Personally, I don't like Bennett, but I do realize other teams did like him a lot coming out of college and Philly was one of them. They can use him at SF and PF next year and let him do his thing as Philly won't see much of Embiid next year and Saric's two years away at least. As for Barea, he's an expiring that they'd take on so they could acquire Bennett. He'd also become the second best PG on their team (Wroten's a SG by the way).

True, but Love didn't hit many his first year either and I believe Bennett showed some potential in college. Either way I'm still not a big fan of his height though.
Ugh... I hate the comparison to Love's shooting. I get why people use it. I just don't agree with it.
May I remind everyone here that Bennett's a small forward. His offensive game is that of a small forward. He has been vocal about being a small forward. He can't guard either position, though. Tweeeeener.
