    Even worse than Kwame and Olowokandi.

    He has a sub 3 Per. He might out of the league after next year.

    I truly believe that if they were not run by complete imbeciles, LeBron would have contemplated going back. However, given how just completely clueless and inept the front office and ownership is, there is no way LeBron decides to put on a Cavs jersey again. He purged himself of Dan Gilbert once already.....I don't think he subjects himself to that again.

    to be fair.. the latest draft class is pretty weak all around.. might be one of the worst overall draft classes ever

    Too early to tell. I'd give him more time before lumping him in with Kwame and the Candy Man. Hell, you could even make the argument that Greg Oden is the worst #1 pick of all time, given the expectations he failed to meet.

    He shouldn't even have been a top-5 pick.

    True, but Oladipo is clearly better, and supposedly they didn't pick Oladipo because they really like Waiters and CJ Miles.

    Only now, they are shopping...yes....Waiters and CJ Miles.

    Most teams have a plan. This one doesn't.

    LOL just look at him. At least Kwame looked like a tank and Kandi had good height for his position, this dude's short and fat. Out of the guys in the draft, he looks like he wouldn't even have been drafted if the Cavs didn't pick him.

    If you stacked him, Darko, Kandi and Kwame in a draft he'd still be picked last so IMHO he's definitely the worst no. 1 pick of all time.

    Nail on the head. I believe that's how its said, lol.
    But yes, teams go into a draft prepared for best and worst case scenario. This team needs a whole New front office. While I wish the best to Bennett. Cavs have passed up many more talented players.

    My tip for them would be to trade draft pick for a proven player. Because they suck at drafting.
    Also too soon to say this kid the worse. He may turn **** around and be a rotation player for many years

    Len Bias. The Celts probably still want that pick back.

    Can you imagine what they could have gotten in a trade pre-draft for the #1 pick?

    Bennett ' s the worst kind of tweener. Too slow for the 3, can't shoot, but not big enough or strong enough to play the 4, and no post game

    You guys are wayyyy overreacting. Worst #1 pick of all time? Seriously?

    At least give this kid half the season, if not his entire first season to see if he rounds out before making such an extreme claim.

    On the bright side, he should be cheap to re-sign.

    Probably not, but only because being a top 5 pick entitles you to free minimum contracts and possibly larger ones for a long time because of 'upside potential.'
