Anthony Bennett Anyone?

[DMX7]

Is he the biggest #1 pick bust in history?

inb4 "he's a better point guard option than porker"

How far the bar has fallen.

Better PG than Parker.

Even when someone points out that the obvious joke is coming, some still can't help but make that obvious joke.

Yeah, because I obviously didn't do it purposely. .

Good points all!

Our frontcourt is loaded now, but in a year or two max Timmy and Bonner will be gone. Boris and West are also up there in years. So, soon we will need some youth up front. I'm not saying Bennett is that guy, just that the logjam we have now won't last too long. So, we should consider any young guy with talent available. A young player, especially one willing to go to Austin, could work with the team a year or two before being a required part of the rotation.

will freeze over the day Bonner is gone from the Spurs.

He's lazy. Already has Shawn kemps body the year he retired. But this kid is young and Shawn Kemp had a decade plus of alcoholism, drugs and not maintaining himself. He's a chunky Michael Beasley. Pass.

Not likely to work out considering he asked for the Wolves to buy him out so he can get more playing time. Not a lot of playing time available in the Spurs front court.

Another 4?

[DrunkTXLabrat]

The cavs are so dumb for not trading down for Bennett, or just drafting Oladipo. Almost as dumb as trading Wiggins for Love.

[SilverSpur]

Sign him for Austin

[K...]

Better question, you are ufa Bennett.... What contract do you sign... One year? Crazy money out there but a bad time right now.

[Seventyniner]

Getting bought out of your rookie contract has to qualify as biggest bust. Your team is going to pay you to leave? Damn.

[Galileo]

Bennett is on the upswing, he showed great improvement in his 2nd year. he could top out as a borderline all-star. The Spurs should grab him now and prepare for the post Duncan era.

FACTS:

* Assist/TO ratio three time better 2nd year.

* FG% broke 40% 2nd year, up quite a bit

* blocks + steal up, fouls down

Was injured and out of shape as rookie, still recovering to his former # 1 form.

He is now in the Raptors with CoJo http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2015/0...ronto-raptors/

Is he the biggest #1 pick bust in history?

no 2013 was the worst draft of all time. Anyone taken #1 would have been the worst bust in history. I could have declared and been picked in that draft.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

if the raptors can sign Thompson, i like the them more than the Cavs

[Mugen]

Like them more in what? basketball?

[Gladney to see you]

He would have been better served to be a player that dropped in the draft. It might have made him work harder.

I'd love to get tony bennett. perhaps he can sing national anthems
