anthony bennett is by far the worst #1 pick of all time

he was fat outta shape tweener. Too slow for SF and too weak for PF position, you dont draft those type of players with #1 pick. The only explanation I can think of is that the cavs GM wanted to get fired. Like fukk it it's over

Yeah, he was bad. At least the Candy man had a double double season ( 12 pts, 10 rebs) in his fifth year.

Kwame had a double digit season as well ( year 3).
yeah olowakandi was at least strong athletic big. his work ethic and attitude were amazingly bad but at least he looked like nba player. bennett was like if they decided to draft michael sweetney.

At the top.
Literally every one was like "what the fukk?" when his name was announced

I remember being at a bar and seeing this guy Bennett getting drafted and I couldn't understand WHY ANYONE would do such a thing. Its not like he was tearing shyt up and had off the chart numbers.

I thought Candy man was a bust back in the day but that would be disrespectful to him.

2-60 would probably have been better picks by default unless there are some guys who have some career ending injury, or are foreigners with no intention of coming over but I actually think he had some talent. Maybe not number one overall in a weak draft but he had some tools, being a mentally weak fat p*ssy was what killed him.
