God forgives, you are forgiven.
Easily, i don't see how it's up for debate. He set the bar so low that a guy can be picked number 1 next year and average 2 ppg for his career and still be better.
Its not his fault that stupid Org drafted him #1

That's what makes the pick even worse is that they looked like idiots the minute they picked him. It's one thing if he was some highly touted prospect that was a no-brainer number one that got injured or was just a bust. It's another when you make a huge reach and then he turns out this bad.
Yeah he's the worst. It's really sad he's going to have that stigma for the rest of his life.
Yeah worst #1 ever
Expectations way too high
Should've been a mid 2nd rounder
Maybe he can get some burn on the Raptors dleague team

There is something wrong with that Cavs organization. I remember everyone shytting on the pick too, saying the Cavs were trying to be too smart for their own good. 
To be fair, just a little, there was no clear number one overall pick that year and GMs apparently dreaded getting that pick because of that reason. The best prospect, Noel, went down with an ACL injury and was going to miss the year(and every single team that could have picked him should have) and everyone else was pretty meh.
I mean the best players in that draft went 14th(Giannis) and 27th(Rudy Gobert).

But that's what was crazier about the pick. In a year with no clear cut number and like 5 or 6 names rumored to go number one at no point did I hear Bennett in the conversation. Word was that most teams didn't even have him in the top 5 at all. At least with somebody like a Kwame Brown he was in the convo with Gasol, Chandler and Curry as being the top pick in that draft.

To be fair that was probably the worst NBA draft class of all time...
I think the best player to come out of that draft was Giannis and he was drafted late...
