3. player. 66. <p>Bender isn’t as familiar of a name as Simmons or Ingram, but believe me when I say that he is every bit as good a prospect as the two guys ahead of him.</p> <p>Bender’s feel and IQ is advanced for an 18 year old. Not many kids his age have the instincts to do things like stunt and recover when guarding a pick and roll. In this clip, he leaves his man to go block the shot of the roller. It’s a great example of his timing and awareness.</p> <p><iframe loading=. PF. Maccabi Tel Aviv. Dragan Bender
