But the guy let his body go and put on 35 pounds of fast food before Mike Brown coached him for one practice. I'll allow that Bennett had a shoulder injury, but its called the salad bar, and it's what a serious-minded athlete would have done rather than literally eating his rookie year.
I think his approach to the game screwed him up before any pro coach had a chance to do anything you are suggesting.
I was never enthusiastic about drafting Bennett, before, during or after that draft. Even if he kept the jump shot he had going at UNLV, there were too many defensive issues for me to get on board with his stretch 4 potential.
