RE: Bane
When I watch him I see a classic case of a guy who is successful as a college player but is not as a NBA player.
In particular I do not see him as a successful NBA defender. His defense starts at the 28:00 mark and I don't even see elite motor and effort on that end, not to mention the subpar lateral quickness and small guard wingspan:

I think Bane is fool's gold as far as translating to the NBA level in a meaningful way. He screams Maurice Ager (but with a 4" shorter wingspan!) to me.
I am out on Bane, but if the Mavs draft him I will be delighted to be dead wrong.
