is Anthony Bennett the worst use of a #1 overall pick ever?

[Eric Cartman]

If you ask me it is fitting that the worst #1 pick of all time is canadian.

[bagelred]

What are the chances this guy turns out good? He wasn't projected until around 7-8, yet the Cavs take him first overall. Terrible front office.

So here's the thing....if it's a bad pick, tell us NOW who you'd rather have instead. Meaning, you can't wait until a couple years go by and say, "see, the Cavs should have took THIS guy". Whoever ends up being better than Bennett.

You have to pick someone right now. So if it was you TonyMontana, who would you take #1. Pick ONE GUY. And that will be the guy we'll compare to Bennett and see if he ends up better.

In a couple years, his account will be banned and he'll be another 5 or 6 usernames past it with a completely different persona and trolling a completely different group of fans.

Kyrie Irving is the next big bust

Was #2.....but no I don't think Bennett is the worst #1 pick, has enough skills/athletic ability to do well.

They wanted to trade their pick down, and when they couldn't, they picked the guy they wanted regardless of whether they had #1. Bennett might not be a finished product right now, but he has talent. You can say the same thing about McLemore: the guy does not look ready right now, but you know he has upside, just needs development.

[WolfGang]

Naa he isn't the worst. Oden just might take that spot. It would be hard knowing you could have had KD instead.

Bennett wasn't the worst player in the draft but he sure as hell wasn't the best. I think he is kinda fat too.

[TheReal Kendall]

Dude look mad chubby.

[deja vu]

Why don't you become GM instead?

I was on the record before the draft as wanting Noel, but this guy looks pretty talented to me...

Anthony Bennett - Draft Express

Truthfully, I was so happy the Cavs didn't take either Len or McLemore, Bennett was fine with me. Those two guys scared the hell out of me.

Brown women. Always a good choice.

I see him being a Paul Millsap type player in the league. Very talented offensive player. Very suspect defense.

Definitely a Top 6 player in this draft, imo, but there are several guys I'd take over him... Noel, Porter, Oladipo, Len.

lol

I soured on Len as the draft approached. I never considered Bennett as a potential pick for the Cavs because I assumed Thompson's presence meant PF was off the board. I was looking at it through the lens of other teams at that point.

Hey, if Chris Grant thought he was the best player in the draft -- which he did -- I'm good with it. He knows a hell of a lot more than I do (or anyone else on this site).
