With Dragan Bender participating in his third Las Vegas Summer League, following two seasons in the NBA, the presumption was that fans would see a large step forward in play due to his experience and the mediocre talent.
Instead, as I discussed here, Bender has looked less than stellar, and through three games has played disappointingly similar to his play over the past two seasons, not showing much in the way of improvement overall.
If there ever was any intention that Bender might be traded, and if General Manager Ryan McDonough might try and add him in a trade package, the continued lack of consistency, especially against inferior (if nothing else, less experienced) talent, might totally be ruining any potential trade value.
