I feel like jamil Wilson is a good comp. Gold probably doesn't have the measurable athleticism of Jamil from what I've seen, but he's more willing to drive and dunk than Wilson was. I dont recall wilson ever dunking on anyone the way gold did on that poor CMU kid on thursday.

They're both stretch 4s with decent 3 pt shots, matchup nightmares, capable of taking over a game in bursts but otherwise complementary players.

Dirk could never come close to Ben, Ben is Gold

D Wade.....did you see that dunk?

Dirk Nowitzki

Can't remember which of our Scoopers it was anymore, but one of our colleagues claimed that Dirk would be helpless if confronted by Davante Gardner.

Best comp for Ben is Giannis & Larry Bird in a blender'.

I probably need at the very least 10 more games, but maybe upwards of 5 full years to fully judge.

My first thought was Dawson Garcia, as a few have already mentioned.
I think Dawson was a much more effective overall scorer than Ben can be though, unless he develops a ton.
Dawson got a lot of slack for being "soft," but effective or not he worked his tail off on the interior trying to prove he wasn't.
Even though I had a feeling that J Lew was the diamond of that class, I'm still appreciative of Garcias time at MU.

My second thought was Joey Hauser, but with a much better attitude.

Cue the music

I am surprised no one mentioned him but Ben does remind me of Luke Fisher if he can continue to play like he did last Thursday.

Why?  Their games are not remotely similar on the offensive end.

I think that somewhere between Garcia and Joey is a fair comp.  Not nearly as polished as either.   Due to COVID he didn't play a ton of games.  The bottom line is that he has a lot of upside.   And he has a long way to go. 

Pump the brakes and enjoy the journey.

Well it is only one game. Six of his 11 points were inside the arc if not in the paint; but you may be right.

Loved seeing Ben do well and hope he will continue to surprise us as the season goes on. I'm in the "let Ben be Ben" camp. And I never once said anything like "seems like the players from down under aren't very good" based upon Ben's struggles in scrimmages  .

I need to see some more of him but I think he reminds me of every white player at Marquette within the last 10 years.

In two games Ben Gold has made and taken more 3Ps than Luke Fischer did in 102 career games. They are not remotely similar players

You're just going along with Rico's set-up, right?
