Same thing I noticed. His body has changed since he was drafted. That can only be a good thing. We don’t need him to be a star, just a big body we can play at PF that has some skill that flashes from time to time. Get boards and hit a decent amount of your open shots.
I read that it's a package deal with Jarrod Uthoff .Though it might not be completed right away as they are trying to turn it into a 3 way to also bring in Thon Maker.
He was probably overrated coming in, but people began even wondering if he gave a damn about basketball. David Griffin (former GM of the Cavs and current GM of the Pelicans) had this to say about him : (from https://www.slamonline.com/archives/david-griffin-anthony-bennett-cavs/ via https://theathletic.com/135466/2017...t-became-the-no-1-pick-of-the-2013-nba-draft/) : "The issue with Anthony was, and we had no way of knowing it at the time, the kid had no desire to overcome adversity whatsoever. As soon as it was hard, he was out,” (David) Griffin said. “His whole life, he rolled out of bed bigger, better, and more talented than everybody else. As soon as it was hard, it was over. And I was the one on campus at UNLV. I’m the one who got sold the bill of goods and I bought it hook, line, and sinker. You **** up sometimes. But I feel bad Chris took it for that, because Chris was the one guy who wasn’t sure.”
Typical Morey move to troll his owner after horrific deal was forced. Remember the Thabeet trade? Caboloo or whatever the fork his name is? 10/10 for the trolling efforts.
I remember when the kid was drafted. It was a weak draft and he was a giant reach even for that. A real head-scratcher; you were like, “What is Cleveland thinking? Does Bennett’s agent have incriminating Polaroids?” Naturally I hope he can actually earn minutes and play well for us, although I wonder if Dan Tony will be asking Westbrook, “What’s his name again? Yeah, Anthony! Where’s my coconut donut? I said coconut. Well, just go back and get me a coconut.” (Sotto voce) “F***ing worthless.”
Brooooooo big betttt. What a pick up. @dmorey. All he needed was a chance. He is gonna show everyone why they should have gave it to him. From what I have seen. He is a lights out shooter now. Good call bro. @basketballholic
OP didn't take advantage of a clickbait thread title. [BREAKING] Rockets shock the world and sign former #1 overall pick!
probably just for practice purposes. he and EG can pretend to be Curry and Draymond for Westbrook and Harden to practice how to defend them
