Firstly, he's just a kid, might be the same age but he is not the same maturity as his big brother, few little siblings are.
The laconic character and perceived lack of desire is/was one of the big questions that hung over his drafting. No doubt that when he goes he's got all the abilities, perhaps even in excess of his brother's ability, but he doesn't use them nearly as effectively and certainly not as frequently.
Ben's got time to prove that the scribes are wrong if he wants to, it's up to him, he could be a win or he could be another Nathan Ablett. A mate made this comment, Ben might actually need to get away from his brother and father to get the best out of himself. It's a fair comment, it's hard enough to play in the shadow of your legendary old man not to mention your big brother, I hope not!
