The Indiana Pacers continue at the top of the TSN.ca NBA Power Rankings, ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have climbed into second spot. Among the bigger movers this week, the Los Angeles Clippers, 10-3 since Chris Paul was injured, have returned to the Top 10, going from 11 to seven. The Chicago Bulls are playing a similar tune, if not quite as impressively, without their star point guard, Derrick Rose. An 11-4 record in the past 15 games sees the Bulls reach 13, up from 16 a week ago. There is a decided level of mediocrity in the game of the Charlotte Bobcats, but they are 5-4 in the past nine games and have gone from 23 to 19 this week. A three-game winning streak helped the New Orleans Pelicans move from 25 to 21. Heading the wrong way, the San Antonio Spurs continue to get ravaged by injuries -- Manu Ginobili is the latest -- and theyve dropped from seven to 10. Injuries also leave the Atlanta Hawks short up front, and they fell from 12 to 15. The biggest crash belongs to the Sacramento Kings, who have lost five straight and have their star centre, DeMarcus Cousins, sidelined; as a result, they plummeted from 19 to 27. The Toronto Raptors continue to push into the Top 10, matching their season-high ranking of nine after winning four of five.

On one play hell drop an easy pass or cut off his route to cause an interception. On the next, hell make a spectacular one-handed leaping grab in the end zone that reminds you of his incredible potential.Coach Ron Rivera said that inconsistency comes down to inexperience.Benjamin spent only two years at Florida State, including one as a starter. He turned pro after catching the winning touchdown pass in last years national championship game against Auburn.He has shown a lot of growth and is starting to understand what it takes to be a pro at this level, Rivera said. At Florida State it was evident that he was by far the better player. Here there are guys who challenge him.Veteran wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said Benjamin wants to be great.He listens, Cotchery said. You hear the stories about guys of this generation and they dont really listen to people. But hes a guy that takes in everything that Coach teaches him, and even listens to me.The Panthers drafted Benjamiin as a replacement for Steve Smith with visions of him becoming the teams No.dddddddddddd 1 receiver down the road.They didnt know he would take to that role so quickly.Benjamin emerged as the teams top receiver in training camp. He opened the season as the starter and now leads the Panthers in yards receiving and touchdowns.Since Day 1, we never thought about him as a rookie, Newton said. And sometimes I have to remind myself that this is just his first year. Over time, he gets it. And when he gets it, its fun to watch and hes fun to throw to.Newton said Benjamin has even been there for him off the field.He has been one of the people calling me and tell me to keep my head up, said Newton, who has struggled at times during the teams current five-game losing streak.Benjamins numbers sometimes get overlooked as part of a rookie receiving class that includes Sammy Watkins, Odell Beckham, Mike Evans, Jarvis Landry and Brandin Cooks.But the Seahawks Richard Sherman praised the big rookie after he made a highlight-reel catch on a long pass between the cornerback and safety Earl Thomas during an October game.Hes huge, and he has a huge catching radius, Sherman said. You have to be aware of all that. He has speed. He made some fantastic plays.Cotchery said Benjamin has a chance to become one of the leagues best receivers if he continues to listen to Panthers wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl, a former NFL player.He can be as great as he wants to be, Cotchery said. Right now hes around a great coach who will continue to identify things he needs to work on. Coach Proehl is so detailed that he will find the smallest things you need to correct — and that will be a huge benefit to Kelvin. Because at the end of the day Kelvin really hasnt played a lot of football yet.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
