Keith Benson?
Keith Benson?
Happened to check D-league stats and saw he is current leader on winshares /48. I know there are issues with that metric, but still I kinda wonder why he never has gotten run in the NBA. Anyone know his story closely? What is his unforgivable flaw that keeps lots of fairly weak big men ahead of him on getting big-time work or simply roster spots?

Here is Chris Reichert wrote a few weeks back:
There’s no reason for Benson to still be in the D-League right now. He’s been dominant for one of the top teams in the league (Sioux Falls is 21-11), he’s ultra efficient around the rim and he leads the league at 2.7 blocks per night. WHAT ELSE DOES THIS MAN NEED TO DO?! I’ve been told teams are shy to give him a chance due to his older age at 28, but that should make him more desirable because he can contribute now. He’s the best big in the league hands down.
