A little over two years ago Anthony Bennett was the first overall pick during the 2013 NBA Draft and had high expectations to live up to. He and Kyrie Irving were supposed to be the next young stars of the Cleveland Cavaliers and help lead them back to relevancy in the NBA.
Fast forward to present day and Bennett is about to be on his third team in three years. It was reported yesterday that the Minnesota Timberwolves have reached a buyout agreement with the former No.1 overall pick.
First off Anthony Bennett’s career was doomed from the start. He had no business being the number one pick.
