One thing I picked out from Benning is that everyone says he's a rink rat and that he likes to go and scout games himself where a lot of gms don't. He's able to get a personal feel of how that player is or to how he said it today how you value his character, toughness, leadership etc and not just moneyball.

This reminded me when gillis acquired booth. He said he was playing gold in Palm Springs and booth was behind his group. He saw how his shot was in golf and felt he was a good enough player.
