I live up here in Canada and after Anthony Bennett got waived by the Toronto Raptors, one Canadian publication wrote an article on what really was going on with Anthony behind the scenes. The article said that Anthony reads the press clippings of what the media says about him and since most of it was negative, he would get emotional then shy away from playing plus training hard. The Toronto Raptors staff tried to stop him from reading articles about himself plus motivate him but he never listened which led to him putting little to know effort on improving his game. That was when Toronto got fed up and waived him.

I also can't say Bargnani as one either, as he had a pretty long career and he had some good moments; although its clear he was not living up the expectations much longer. Bennett, ironically, never been injured, never had any bad circumstances, yet he gave up on trying and his productivity lost like its never been there. Yeah he might be the worst ever 1st pick.

Yeah, I feel bad for them because for Greg Oden, he was supposed to potentially be a top-10 center of all time but sadly got ruined by injuries (like Brandon Roy too), and also for Anthony Bennett, right when he got into the NBA, he couldn't succeed and get to his college self, which is weird, and those bad games really didn't help; it just ruined his potential, and of course there's Kwame Brown, whose career got ruined apparently because of Michael Jordan's ego and his toughness on him.

This video was a little harsh on his time with the G League. He was a big that was shooting about 42% from three which is ELITE especially for his size and one of the reasons he was picked up by the Rockets that value floor spacing. He was waived due to him requiring knee surgery - not necessarily because he was bad. Definitely could've been a good depth piece on that Rockets team with Westbrook and Harden.

I just went back and compared to stats to Zion Williamson. I am obviously not claiming that Bennett is as good as Zion, but they are both strong, but relatively short power forwards. Zion is shooting 31% from 3. Bennett 27% Zion 63% from 2 Bennet 57% Bennet got to the line more than 50% more than Zion who is one of the best at it. He got to the line A LOT! Zion 69% from line Bennet 72% Williamson shoots more scoring 28.2 points per 36 minutes compared to 15.7 for Bennet. Zion 7.7 rebounds per 36 minutes Bennet 10.6 rebounds per 36 minutes Zion is a much better passer with with 5 assists compared to 2.2. Neither is a great defender (yet) So there really is a fine line between being a super star and a bust. I really thought Bennett would be playing 20+ minutes per game right now. I never though offenses would run through him or around him like Zion, but I thought he would come off the bench, grab rebounds and score efficiently inside.

One factor could be character. I don't really know what Bennett is like as a person. But the NBA has a lot of very aggressive and slick guys that can play mind games during matches. If he was socially shy that could be a big factor. It can eat away at your confidence if you don't know how to deal with diabolical bullying dudes and I'd wager there are plenty of those. You know the old quiet boy from Canada thing. Although Griffins explanation is probably more plausible.

I saw Anthony Bennett drop like maybe 10 straight points in his rookie season for the Cavs. The guy looked promising as hell. Who knew that was the last time he would play well.

He is definitely one of the players that should be the reason why the one and done is no longer a thing. He definitely needed more time to develop in college.

Hmm interesting

I agree for the most part with this video. However, it is difficult to say that if he were drafted later he would have FOR SURE been out of the league sooner. Maybe a team would have drafted him in the late 1st or 2nd round and given him time to develop in the G-League. I mean this video said a lack of PT negatively impacted his career. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that he could have become a role player if this were to have happened. (Yes, I know I'm just speculating and we can't know for certain)

there is a video on youtube where they ask him how he got to the g league. that must have been very shameful.

I would love to see a 30 for 30 about his career one day.

I was playing 2k14 until now I just modified the game to the latest rosters and added cyber faces "Great hands are Gift but average hands (I forgot the line)" I just heard this from the PA announcer in the game but it was a quote for me it was like Bennett was gifted great hands unlike Giannis at that time who has the average hands and lots of space to improve now he became a star, MVP

So some people at Findlay told him if he committed to unlv they’d cook his grades for him.

For me personally, he did improve his game while he was with the Brooklyn Nets. The saddest thing about it all is that due to his reputation as #1 pick, no NBA team will pick him so soon, but hope he makes a comeback someday. I'm happy the guy is still playing overseas

I am amazed that no one could unlock his former potential. Does anyone know what was stopping him from getting better? Plenty of teams tried and failed. From what it sounds like he simply didn’t take care of himself and therefore was unable to sustain his play. A couple times up and down the court when you have zero fitness can really tucker you out particularly if you then need to take your large frame as well as body someone and then leap into the air and slam a dunk. Do that two or three times and you get his stat line. What a shame.

Genetics, essentially. Contrary to what a lot of people will tell you that it’s ‘mind over matter,’ personality traits such as conscientiousness, which typically determines whether someone is an organised hard worker or a more chaotic and careless type, is predominantly determined by the combinations of genes we receive from our parents. Personalities are like athletic abilities, you are born with certain gifts and curses. Some more than others. Upbringing has some significant influence but mainly when you’re young. Once you turn like 18, your basic personality dimension is set, and you can only make minute changes through learning. So his family got the return that they put in. It’s not like they instilled a good work ethic in him. Or maybe they tried but his lazy genetics were too strong. In any case, no one really controls who they turn out to be - without getting too philosophical

@notimportant Then you obviously don’t read a great deal if a commonly accepted notion among geneticists & a widely accepted model of personality among psychologists amounts to ‘one of the most ridiculous things’ you’ve ever read. Research ‘The Big 5’ personality dimensions. What I’m saying is supported by tonnes of psychological & genetic research. Furthermore, you need to actually finish your thoughts. Calling something ‘ridiculous’ while making no effort to demonstrate why is not a logical strategy. You doubled down on this hollow form of criticism in the 2nd comment when you eluded to being able to name ‘quite a few’ players, but then you never bother to actually name a single one. Both of these comments are worthless, bro. You need to do more than effortlessly dismissing something as ‘ridiculous’ without at the very least explaining your reasoning. I’m all ears if you want to expand upon your position.

@notimportant Sorry, but how do any of those examples contradict my point in any way shape or form? If anything they support my point 😂 My whole point was that genetics is a huge factor in player development, and then you cite a bunch of players that don’t work hard but still get results? Well, yeah. That’s literally what I’m saying. Those players get accolades because they are genetically gifted. It doesn’t matter how hard they work (by the standards of basic NBA training) because they are blessed with abilities that means they will succeed doing the bare minimum amount of work. I don’t even agree with most of your examples anyway - Simmons, Lavine - but even still you’ve got the wrong end of the stick.

Absolute travesty on all cylinders

At least we got Kevin love out of it I guess.

In the first round 8 players are were not part of any NBA team in 2020/2021 season. It starts with Bennet at 1st and the next one was at number 14th (so only 2 players in the lottery are not playing currently), while last 5 were very late in the draft. I think when very bad teams recieve 1st pick, and there isn't a clear first option, they should fire their current scout (if he doesn't have immaculate record) and hire some scouting savant proven in the league. The smart thing for Cavs to do in this draft was to try to get some young talent + a pick in the lottery, since they were taking projected 10th pick as 1st anyway. It was bad decision not to trade down if they were locked in at Bennet. By picking him as 1st pick in history from Canada, they put immense pressure on him, and that might have halted his developement - we sometimes forget that these are just kids (think of yourself at 18/19 years old), and Bennet shown lack of confidence on the court first minute of his first game. He might have developed to at least solid roleplayer when chosen as the 10th pick without any real expectations or pressure, slowly developing his game.
