The Athlete projects Bennett as the 19th Pick going to The Golden State Warriors
Hope Stephen stays for another year or two to ease the way
Gonna be playing with Draymond hopefully
Now I can start watching the NBA games during regular season
The Body of the article, don't know if a copy and paste will work with The Atlhlete:
The level to which Stirtz has figured out college basketball is pretty astounding after a slow start. In 18 Big Ten games, he’s averaging 22.9 points and 3.7 assists while drilling 52 percent of his shots from the field and 38 percent of his seven 3-point attempts per game. Moreover, he’s getting to the free-throw line five times per game and making 84 percent of his attempts. With his pace and skill, he’s been a dynamite scorer with elite-level basketball IQ for a team that, frankly, isn’t that talented by Big Ten standards. The Hawkeyes also play at one of the slowest paces in college basketball under coach Ben McCollum, making these numbers all the more impressive. (They play about 10 possessions fewer per game, on average, than Alabama.)
There are some concerns about whether Stirtz can consistently get to the rim in the NBA and whether he’ll be able to guard at a high-enough level against professionals. But teams always want guards who are elite shooters and who can dribble and pass, plus have a tremendous feel for the game.

2026 NBA mock draft: Absurdly deep class is why so many teams are tanking
AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer are still the top three, but other prospects are exciting teams, too.
