So far from what I've seen..He is the worst #1 pick ever.

I didn't see him play in college but from what I saw from his highlight tape on draft night..I could not understand why teams were so high on him. Those under-sized tweeners hardly ever work out. And he was/is out of shape and hangs at the 3pt line. All signs of not being worth a top 10 pick.

With the exception of MCW and the potential of Giannis this whole draft was not lottery worthy.

I don't see anyone shytting on McLemore, Zeller, Len, Porter, Shabazz, KCP, etc. for lack of immediate production.

Well I'm talking about pre-draft. The other players you named didn't look like obvious trash IMO. KCP looked suspect being taken in the top 10 but again..it wasn't as obvious as Bennett.

Plus we both know that being taken #1 has more pressure than being taken 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. To whom much is given, much is required.

With that said the entire draft has been historically bad. He's taking the weight while the rest of the draft gets a pass.

5 years from now I think this draft will be seen for what it was.

Yeah, he's the worst ever. At least the Kandiman got on the court and was decent his rookie year.

However, the class of 2013 could still be the worst draft ever if the other lottery picks don't pick it up. The '86 draft had drug abusers mess it up. This class doesn't have that excuse :wow:

Breh, I know it's difficult but all those dudes have shown some flashes, with the exception of Porter and Shabazz, and Shabazz just never sees the floor.


Len - 9/6 in 16 mins last game
Zeller - 12/7/4 in 22 mins
McLemore - Multiple games of 15+ pts
KCP - has had several nice games

They struggle but at least show something here and there, this dude Bennett has shown nothing at all. And I notice you don't want to say a word about Oladipo.....his last 5 he's averaging 18, 6, 6, 2, 1 on 47% :mjpls: Everything you want from Waiters, except with the potential to have elite level D

Oladipo as is with his current level of production can still arguably be a top candidate for worst #1 pick ever.

Look at what you your hyping with those other players and compare it to what previous elite #1 picks have done their first years.

The 2013 draft resides in the love handles of Lawrence Holmes.

Nah breh, Oladipo would safely be out of contention for worst #1 ever, and he'd probably be a great fit next to Kyrie :manny:


Yeah, this draft was bad, but the Cavs somehow managed to take the worst player first.
