Jason Bennett Being Compared to Kentucky Great Sam Bowie
However, the guy who already is the talk of the state is 7'1 Jason Bennett from Jacksonville (Arlington Country Day) FL. Not only is Bennett widely regarded as one of the top two 8th graders in the America, along with 6'7 Derrick Character from Scotch Plains, NJ, but he already is starting on the varsity and has improved dramatically during the 12 months. As a matter of fact, Keith Ferenaz, who runs a NIKE AAU program in Jacksonville, FL and is a former assistant coach Arlington Country Day, tells us that Bennett already has incredible moves for somebody his size and age. "He spends an hour a day on individual instruction," says Ferenaz. "So he already has developed great footwork, can do things, like pass out of the double-team, and can get up and down the floor. He's also already a physical specimen, but he has the understanding of the game and he's skills on the perimeter. He doesn't have the shooting range, but in many ways he reminds me of Sam Bowie."
Is this a good or bad thing
