Oakland's Keith Benson showcased solid footwork in the post and deft touch from the perimeter on Tuesday night against Tennessee, but there's at least one area where the 6-foot-11 NBA prospect still needs to improve.
For heaven's sake man, don't forget to call out a screen!
The victim of Benson's inattentiveness was guard Larry Wright, who applied full-court pressure against Tennessee guard Trae Golden and got waylaid near mid-court by a Brian Williams screen he never saw coming. A woozy Wright crumpled to the floor, attempted to get back into the play and then hunched over at the waist and fell again in a daze after the whistle.
Amazingly enough, Wright collected himself enough to stay in the game and help Benson lead Oakland to a memorable come-from-behind 89-82 upset victory over the seventh-ranked Vols.
Wright cannot have endured a more crushing screen than this in his college career, but the joy of Oakland's most significant win of the season probably eased any lingering pain.
