Why did anthony bennet go first overall ?

[Stinky Diver]

and they did the same thing this year


Bennett was an analytics pick

I truly believe they were just feeling themselves after the Waiters pick. If you can remember, he was a surprise pick as well.

It was a shyt draft

Shouldve traded the pick away

watch that muthafukka ball out this season
but to answer your question he was like a low level LJ
could shoot the 3 too

He can shoot the three, and he's a big man

If he can't put up numbers this year in this situation, there's no hope for him

Nerlens would've been taken 1 if he didn't get hurt

 

[Majestyx]

because the cavs drafted waiters instead of drumond the yearr before. if they didnt do that dum shyt, they coulda just drafted oladipo and stashed nerlens

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Does this answer your question?

Can someone punch that kid in the face please?

 

[Danie84]

To make it seem like The Draft isn't rigged, but look how it fits perfectly with the narrative now

 

[DoubleClutch]

Just to make it back to back Canadian 1st picks and nothing more

 

[Supercoolmayo]

Does this answer your question?

Who is this kid?

Hindsight is 20/20

9 teams passed on Drummond for reasons which have been discussed on this forum 9000 times. Oladipo was never in discussion for #1 pick going into that college season. Noel would have been #1 last year if not for his injuries.

Also, Bennett was injured and fat last year. He has lost a significant amount of weight and looked beast in his first summer league game. Once he gets in game shape he will be a beast.

Ya'll Cleveland dudes funny.

Otto Porter. Ben Mclemore. Alex Len.

Did it really matter who they took? They were all hot garbage.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Easy. To help in the tankification for Wiggins.

 

[Darealtwo1]

he was da best player on da board in a WEAK draft. You gotta understand, you draft for position so there was no need to take oladipo first when u got kyrie n waiters. oladipo wouldnt play. Nerlens was coming off acl and nobody knows how he gonna bounce back. injuries that early in ya career can be career threatning in bball. To play all 3 off those guys at the same time would be so small. Oladipo is already an "undersized 2 guard" dude was barely over 6'3 in socks, you cant have him playing the 3. He would get murdered on defense. Imagine him having to guard KD...KD would drop 50 on him easy. Bennett was the best choice. Big PF/SF that could shoot 3s.

Lets not right him off yet cuz he still a nba baby. He was a one and done player.......

But damm brah u showed no flashes, nothing, nada so

That "someone" should have been Noel. Looking at it now, hes the defensive big man that can run the court and Cleveland missed out on.

Im fukking pissed my wizards didn't take Noel. All these teams skipped on him b/c he was injured but none of those teams would have done shyt last season anyways. Blake Griffin missed his first year and now look at him. So much incompetency at the head of these franchises
