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

[bigrodthe1]

how do they play in Detroit

Straight up 21 one point at a time. Some times might count 3s as 2 points

 

[Max.]

Crazy how the cavs have gotten 4 top picks since 2003

 

[The G.O.D II]

Just didn't have any desire to improve

 

[MikelArteta]

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.

nba rookie contracts are shorter now though

 

[MikelArteta]

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

honestly i didnt even think he was the best cdn on that unlv team
khem birch>>benett

No shots from behind the arc after you score?

I think I like that better

In Brazil we play a hybrid of game to 16 and 21 shots. It's weird and I don't like it

 

[BlackAchilles]

Kwame and Olowakandi would've been good picks from 16 onwards

Bennetts career numbers are some second rounder type shyt

You know u fell off when most ppl can't even pronounce ur team name

Fen-er-Bah-che

How was he in college? What pick were most projecting him to be?

He was decent most people had him mocked anywhere from 6-11 but no one and I mean no one had him mocked at #1 I remember leading up to that draft it was talk of us taking Noel, Oladipo and even considering Otto Porter even Alex Len there wasn't a clear cut #1 since Noel was expected to miss most if not all of the season.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Worse than Kwame?

Yes

 

[El Bombi]

Yes and it's not close.

Another one of LeGM's failures. The Cavs would be lit by now if he hadn't run them into the ground with all those decisions like drafting Bennett, Waiters, and TT with top-4 picks, signing Bynum, giving up three draft picks to get Deng, letting Livingston and Speights walk, etc.

Imagine how good the Cavs could have gotten by now if they hadn't let Lebron call all the shots?

 

[Stick Up Kid]

He's the worst #1 pick in any sport.

He might be the worst draft pick ever..

I think what makes it the worst pick ever is just how much of a reach it was to draft him number 1. At least with other busts at the top you can look at it and say it was a reasonable pick that anyone would've made. With Bennett no other team would've took him one by all reports. So for him to then be a huge bust compounds. If you reach that hard it better turn out.

On the flip side that whole draft was garbage for the most part so it's not like there's somebody they passed over that could be reasonably expected to take that turned into a huge star.
