Since we spent time yesterday ripping Rush the Court's preview of the Summit, it's nice to be able to say something nice about RTC today. Keith Benson is featured by RTC as one of six "impact players" from the upper midwest region - alongside Manny Harris (Michigan), Deshawn Sims (Michigan), Lazar Hayward (Marquette), Kalin Lucas (MSU), and Raymar Morgan (MSU). Not bad company at all. rushthecourt.net/2009/10/21/rtc-2009-10-impact-players-upper-midwest-region/

Such a nice addition to that feature. One thing I hope everyone keeps in mind is that the piece yesterday was written by a third-party RTC contributor, and not from an actual staff member at RTC. Yeah, they posted it, but I still couldn't hold them accountable for that article. They know what's up.

Makes me really happy to see Benson higher on this list than Jerome Jordan.

;D ;D ;D Makes me really happy to see Benson higher on this list than Jerome Jordan. That is only because the Honorable Mention is in alphabetical order! ;D

The 2010 position rankings were updated today on nbadraft.net. They have Benson as the #4 ranked center in the country (and on this list, putting him ahead of Jerome Jordan has nothing to do with alphabetical order). Benson is also still listed as a late first rounder, moving up a spot on their latest mock draft. www.nbadraft.net/ranking/positional

In addition to nbadraft.net, the DraftExpress website usually has decent write-ups attempting to evaluate NBA potential (most of them written by Jonathan Givony). They now have Benson ranked #18 overall among juniors, 2 spots behind MSU's Kalin Lucas: www.draftexpress.com/rankings/NCAA-Juniors/

Jonathan Givony's individual DraftExpress write-up on Benson: www.draftexpress.com/profile/Keith-Benson-5712/Givony has seen at least some film, and he does a pretty good job of sketching out specific areas where Kito needs improvement in order to succeed at the next level.
