is Anthony Bennett hands down the worst #1 NBA pick ever?

[jadillac]

Olowokandi has to be close, but at least he survived in the league several years.



I'm not counting Greg Oden b/c when he wasn't hurt, he showed promise

 

[tremonthustler1]

Yes, and that's in spite of that draft not being top heavy

 

[mastermind]

Either he or LaRue Martin

Bob McAdoo went right behind Martin too.

 

[Malta]

Yes, that draft was just strange, outside of McCollum the best players were non-lottery players (Gobert/Giannis)

 

[NatiboyB]

He is the worst #1 pick between the NBA and NFL...He shouldn't of been the pick in the first place Chris Grant was trying to be the smartest person in the room for the 2nd year in a row right after picking Waiters.

Olowokandi and Kwame Brown were all clearly better players than Bennett I mean seeing as how the lasted at least until the end of their rookie contracts.

 

[NigerianDonDada]

Yeah by far. I thought he was going to be the next Larry Johnson coming out of UNLV

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Worse than Kwame?

 

[King Jove]

First number 1 in a long time where I knew he'd be garbage since day 1 and most NBA fans felt that way which is why so many were shocked he went 1st.

 

[SchoolboyC]

Worse than Kwame?

Kwame in his "prime" was at the very least a good backup, Bennett this year couldn't crack the rotation for one of the worst teams in NBA history

 

[MustafaSTL]

Yes, and it's not even close.

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Bill Simmons' reaction

 

[King Jove]

Failed number 1 overall picks at least show enough talent to be a contributing role player.

Bennett looked like he didn't even belong in the league.

 

[Manuel Hot Pepper Lopez]

Worse than Kwame?

Kwame is Kareem compared to this Canadian bum
nikka started 4 games in 4 years

Bennett it is.

 

[mastermind]

Worse than Kwame?

Kwame had a 13 year NBA career.

Anthony Bennett is currently playing for Fenerbahçe in Turkey. He was drafted #1 in 2013.
