Cavs: There is hope for Anthony Bennett

[313]

GOAT 1st round pick tbqfh

[JamStone]

Look at the rest of the first round draft picks. Horrible draft, especially what should be high end talent at the top. Guys like MCW and Trey Burke might end up being the better players of the draft and they were passed on by the top 8 picks as well, and it's not like they have superstar written all over them. Cavs took a shot in the dark (not that that's a good thing) because of basically 2 weeks of beasting by Bennett to start his college season and not a lot of great alternatives in the draft.

But, hey, it's not like the Darko pick by the Pistons when they passed on guys like Melo, Wade, and Bosh. Pretty much the entire draft class including other guys at the top looks like trash.

Great points but they would of been better off taking Oladipo since they don't love Waiters or stashing Noel until next year ...

[Killakobe81]

Oladipo is not a pg btw ...

I dont know why anyone would draft a fat player. Aside from Shaq, the best you can expect from a fat player is my Diaw who is solid but not top overall pick quality tbh.

Dunno what is with the Cavs' obsession with drafting undersized fours rather than stashing centers. First Thompson over waiting a year for Valanciunas. Now Bennett over Noel. When you're a bad team, it actually behooves you to stash top players so that you can tank another year. Philly understood this.

Would ing HAVE.

[DMC]

It's a misnomer to call a player the number 1 pick. The number 1 pick is an option given to a team based on how they drew in the lottery. Any person they choose will be the first player chosen overall. That doesn't say anything about Bennett. It says a load about Cleveland though.

Suffer through it with me.

Shaq wasnt fat when he was drafted

Diaw was skinny back in his Phoenix days iirc

it's tough to draft somebody who isn't a rookie

I'm sure he knew Diaw and Shaq weren't always fat. I don't see the issue with it if you understand context. He said Diaw is about best you can expect from a fat player (Shaq not withstanding). So he's saying that, at best, the fat draft pick would only be as good as Diaw.
