I think Indiana would've been a pretty good fit for him. Vogel could be the perfect coach, a motivator type. Also, there's some need for big men (not that I would expect Bennett to get many minutes next year, but still). Plus Myles Turner in theory could be a nice fit next to Bennett in the long run, if both develop. Turner protects the rim and moves out of the paint on offense, Bennett attacks the paint. Anyway, good gamble for Toronto. Not sure about fit on the roster or their coach. But for minimum, why not.
Yeah, I haven't seen Noel much tbh. I just haven't been impressed from that and his stats, but we'll see.

^ the interesting thing is, you could definitely see a scenario, where with hard work on his shot, understanding defensive schemes, etc... he could at least be a serviceable Draymond Green lite - like a 8 ppg backup version.
Bust. However, him sucking in his rookie year (13-14), allowed the cavs to magically win the Wiggins lottery which helped lead to Lebron coming back.
Cavs could have had Irving Oladipo Wiggins TThompson Drummond They really do owe a lot to James...well his mom. she could have settled down elsewhere.
