Anthony Bennett

[Cratylus]

True. But I do remember some pundits at the time saying that was a possibility. I remember hearing Giannis' name in particular being mentioned as a sleeper freak.

I remember I was enamored with Giannis and was hoping he would fall to the Cavs at 19. Instead he went 15 to Milwaukee and the Cavs selected Karasev at 19. Sigh.

I called for Adams or Greek Freak with the first pick. Swing big or go home.

Watching Bennett clips from his Cavs run. I convinced myself it wasn’t that bad. It was. Really embarrassing. Fucking Grant man.

Watcha talking about? He looks like a Zion clone in these highlights

No way did he make that many 3s!

I think half the highlight reel was from that one game against Orlando lol.
Seeing Zion's success one wonders how much Bennett could have succeeded: mentally soft dude from what I remember

He seemed defeated before he started. Never had fire

Crazy draft: only 3 out of the top 10 picks being good players (Oladipo, Porter, and McColloum who was #10). The rest were all basically busts even some of them see some minutes like Zeller and Noel. Then after the top 10 it's gets crazy you have a likely HOF/Multi-MVP player in Giannis at 15 and maybe the second best player in the draft in Gobert at fucking #27! But you also got starters in Adams at 12, Schroder 15, Roberson, Hardaway.

Don't think I've ever seen that where the second half of the draft is head and shoulder better then the first 1/2 (counting giannis as second half)

Just looked back at this thread...in light of recent events, we might have to revisit this.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gobert has to play the balance of his career in France.

 

[Man Called X]

Bah, I'm making every inquiry I can to Utah. Gobert's value is the lowest it's ever going to be. I'd be trying to strike gold on that if I was any other 29 teams.

 

[Cavatt]

I think he is going to be made fun of a lot, but out of the league? No way

Did anyone else think Bennett got the coronavirus when seeing this bump?

Nope.
Tink he has the chance to be the sole survivor.

Nah, he's smart and anticipated this. He was already self-quarantined from the NBA before it was cool.
