I'm undecided on Bennett. The SFish aspects of his game - decent shooting touch and very good athleticism - are all things that an undersized PF will need in the NBA where he won't be able to bully guys inside. As a pick-and-roll or pick-and-pop guy at PF he has a lot of potential I think though, and that's probably the most important thing for a big in today's NBA.
On D his reputation is pretty poor, but there is no reason why that can't improve with his tools... his 7'1 wingspan helps make up for his height, and it sounds like it's effort more than anything that is needed on that end. The right coach in the NBA would help here, but he probably won't get that being drafted high in the lottery to a (probably) horrible team.
So, yeah, I like him. He has question marks, but every player this draft does. I don't think he goes top-3 but I wouldn't be shocked if he did, especially with the Cavs picking at #1.
