    Good point. Of course they were on the bench and Bennett isn't (although maybe he should be)

    Just having some fun. Bennett was a head-scratching #1 pick in the first place. Oden and Griffin were both solid picks, based on talent.

    Cleveland has made head scratching picks with 3 of their last 4 high lotto picks (Waiters 4, Thompson, 4, Bennett 1).

    Don't think they looked into him too much if they really were surprised about his asthma. The local guys talked about it all last year. I went to a few games and didn't think he was that great.

    This shows no other Very 1st Pick having done it.

    Look only at the players with a Count of 3. "Count" is the number of games, out of the 1st 3 career games, in which a player had 0 FGs.

    Your Yahoo Finance (??) article says that Bennett went FG-less, not scoreless, since he made 2 FTs.

    You're right. I meant to say he hasn't scored a field goal yet.

    I assumed that's what you meant, since it was very easy to check his stats and see that he made a FT in his first game.

    I haven't watched the guy play, but i saw people saying he looked like rookie Trob, pretty rough for a number one draft pick.

    Anthony Bennett made his money, so he's cruising.

    He hangs out by the three-point line a lot!

    Why are the Cavs trying to turn him into Draymond Greene?

    The Cavs had rookie Hickson doing the same, making him into a shooter.

    AB's nine or ten kilos overweight and has come back from shoulder surgery looking pretty rusty aside from one game in Orlando. Might take him the better part of the season to get going especially since he's not playing much right now behind TT.

    He should have been pick 3 or 4 in a weak draft.
