As to Ivan, I think its a bit too early for him.
Neither is Burgess. Plenty of recency bias in the list.Benji isn't that level of player imo. Fun to watch but more likely to lose you a game than win one

That’s all you need to know how good he wasBenji isn't that level of player imo. Fun to watch but more likely to lose you a game than win one
