Hey Guys,
So what do you guys think? Is Anthony Bennett The BIGGEST DRAFT BUST OF ALL TIME?
How Would Giannis and Lebron Play Together?
- MIKE
What if Giannis was drafted by the cavaliers INCOMING?
there is no way giannis would be drafted 1st in 2013 whatever happens so lebron has nothing to do with that
Greg Oden
@@pacojuanrico7083 injuries killed greg oden he was very good
What’s up big mike
The fact that Mathew Delly went undrafted, joined the cavs with Anthony and had a better career is kinda amazing 😂
Dellavedova played great in the 2015 finals.
@Jeezy huncho Yea you fosho just watch highlights Dellavedova actually held the record at one point for highest 3 point percentage
@Jeezy huncho For an undrafted player to drop 20 on Curry in an NBA final game is pretty good.
@Jeezy huncho He dropped 20 tho
@@Willy72070
That stat means jack shit considering the context.
That Giannis questions sounds like a "What if.." (:thinking emoji:)
I gotchu fam 🤔
Dont overwork Mike bro he's already working on an hour long one lmao
I'm not sure if he would've developed the same. But he did start playing off the bench. Maybe Lebron would've tutored him into a star not sure 🤷♂️
GM Legone would have traded Giannis to get Kevin Love.😂😂
Its crazy how his career was over as soon as he was drafted. And he wasn't even hurt
Iirc he got hurt pretty badly when he was supposed to play for the rockets
@@vamsighorakavi7594 he’d already been cut by 3 teams, played a season in turkey and then a season in the g league. his career was over long before than rockets injury
his career was over the moment he struggled during summer league. Imagine struggling to dominate against 3rd or 4th string guys who're fighting for a roster spot
It’s on him dude was immediately out of shape wasted talent
Actually he had a shoulder strain at UNLV, thats y his numbers dropped quite a bit later in the season, and one of the reasons y he put on a bunch of weight
“The way he’s basketball career is going, becoming Logan Paul’s actual body guard does not seem that far off” 💀💀💀💀
I was dying😂
I agree. 😂😂😂😂😂
I don't think fultz is a bust yet. He was hooping in Orlando and was a nominee for most improved player. Plus he tore his acl earlier this season and before that he played pretty good
Yupp
I mean, hes on Greg Oden territory of just being a bust due to injuries.
@@JoseFranco9 Greg Oden would've been a beast; dude was Dwight Howard level but had uneven legs, just pure bad luck
@@JoseFranco9 yeah his nerve damage was severe for him
I agree fultz definitely was playing good in Orlando this year
I remember in 2k14 when this guy would dominate everyone in my career and become 99 overall in 4 years
2k14 was my first 2k and I remember I got picked like 9th, ended up averaging 30pts and 10ast by my 2nd season to think this dude was takin ahead of me
Best 2k for 4th gen console
Just give him once untapted potential he became new goat.
Give once untapted potential to Kyrie bennet and dion and you have super big 3 in 3ym years and dominant next 10 years when they want to resign. Use the pick value at begining to get jazz pick and sixers pick and you had best future.
Cav was easy clap.
I always doing that and recruit lebron to going back. And yet even other the big 3 and lebron leave are bad, thos 3 guy was really enough to dominant the league.
When kyrie on 27 they had overall like GOAT.
Kyrie 97
Bennet 96
Dion 94
At the end bennet going to 98 better than Kyrie
@Commander Shepard L
2K14 is about size. A player needs to be tall to dominate. You will see an AI Steph Curry being a scrub while Josh Smith is like a Superstar. And 2K14 has no THREE POINT SHOT.
I never knew who said “woah” in the draft when playing mycareer. It was Bill Simmons.😂
Yup, 2K actually threw that bit of audio into that draft segment of MyCareer for 2k14. I guess the crew was just as surprised as Bill was. XD
Lol 😂 me either
Bennett is considered a bust because of the cavs stupidity to draft him that high. He was also drafted into a bad situation.
Totally agree! I do feel sorry for Bennett because it is the Cavs fault. He was not even considered as a top pick in that year's mock drafts. Most have Nerlens Noel at number 1 and some have Alex Len. He had the pressure of people expecting more from him at the start.
Most mock drafts had Bennett projected between 7-10. Sure his career still would’ve been disappointing however whoever made that pick at number 1 for Cleveland is an absolute idiot.
Although that draft was poor so maybe it was due to there being no consensus no.1 pick
I thought it was pretty clearly Oladipo at the time and still do.
4.4 points for the number 10 pick would also be very low.
@@kostastube2010 no one would really speak about it though if he was picked at 10. Lots of players in the late lottery don’t work out but the cavs decided to choose one of those as the number 1 pick so as a result this guy gets more hate than other failed nba draft picks.
Giannis wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good as he is now if he went to Cleveland instead of Bennett nor would he have developed well in Minnesota if he was traded in Bennett’s place either
I remember a Bucks quote that really shocked me in 2016, it said something along of lines of "we want to give Thon Maker the Giannis training". So obviously Giannis may not have bulked up or given the freedom to average 25 if that were the case
Giannis grew, he runs like a guard, jumps out the gym, dominates the paint and doesn't need to score to impact a game, he'd be fine anywhere
@@DC180PP Yeah but the Bucks had too much faith in him and gave him a development program.
@@JoseFranco9 they had nothing to lose by doing so, they were looking to rebuild at the time of the 2013 draft and were HORRIBLE Giannis’ rookie year
@@DC180PP Exactly. It was the best fit for both. Giannis wouldve been great but not elite without the faith the Bucks showed in him.
1:58 the part will bill simmons had me dying lmao
Woah!
everybody scared to talk about kwame right now lol
🤣
Facts 😂😂😂
This story of anthony bennett just makes giannis path to the nba even greater. He trained so hard to get where he wants to be. On the other hand bennett wasted a prime chance to become a franchise player and threw it to the bin. That is why never take things for granted
Or maybe he just wasnt good enough . Not everything has to do with lazyness and shit. He just was not nba level
Mike can we get an OG what if like ur old 2k16 ones except on 2k21 those were dope
Check the Channel I'm currently posting What If Kobe went to College!
No disrespect to Bennett’s college resume, but I never get why Oladipo wasn’t seen as the obvious consensus #1 pick based on his production his last year of college.
And Oladipo also had a reputation as a hard worker and the Cavs needed a shooting guard.
@@jokerofmorocco cavs had dion waiters and oladipo doesn’t play small forward
Bennett had a higher ceiling..oladipo had huge holes in his game namely shooting and handles.
@@daebak7370 "Shooting a huge hole"? Lol, Dipo shot 60/44/75 his senior year. Bennett shot 53/38/70 his last year of college. My guy, you really don't have to defend a pick no one liked at the time and which worked out horribly a decade later, lol.
@@ethanjobson3879 im not arguing Bennet was the right pick I'm just stating as to why dipo wasn't a sure fire #1. He was a slasher he was never known as a shooter and his handles were suspect.
He was basically supposed to be Zion but ended up being Ryan Hollis
If you ask Ryan Hollins how he thinks his career went he will make you think he was Hakeem.
*Watching Zion condition right now*... Yeah, about that.
Zion is Bennett and Oden combined
Actually I'm from Puerto Rico and just weeks before the start of the season he quit on the team, a team that was supposed to have JJ Barea, Thomas Robinson and many other talented players.
Anthony Bennett agrees to deal with Israeli club apoel Jerusalem for the 21/22 season.
Wow.
That woah sound is in 2k my career at the draft when he gets drafted
"What was going on in 1952, I'm not really sure"
Korean War- "Am I a joke to you?"
Giannis woulda left Cleveland the minute his contract was up.
Nah. he'll get traded asap.
Who's to say he's been pretty loyal to Milwaukee. And they wasn't doing much when he was drafted.
He would have been traded for Klove
Let’s be real, there’s no way in hell Giannis and LeBron would play together in Cleveland. He would’ve been traded to a team like Toronto, the team that was most aggressive to make the move for him before Milwaukee, for a second round pick and a role player (like a Jakob Poetl) to help their team. Giannis would either be dominant as all hell in Toronto (as a Raptor fan, I want this to happen so bad), or he’d be a decent starter there. With our development system, he’s probably a superstar.
“Not sure what was going on in 1952”
A lot. The players drafted in that year who never played were mostly absent because of the Korean War. There was also another league in those days (national industrial basketball league), and some players chose to forgo the NBA to play for the national team which they wouldn’t be allowed to do if they played professionally.
and they had you know actual jobs when the season was over
Well, the 1952 Draft's circumstances are understandable. The league itself was merely six years old and was still trying to establish itself as a proper major effort. It kinda says more about Bennett that his results land closer to the guy who joined the league during its upstart years than his more proper contemporaries.
Waiting for Part 3 What if .🔥🔥🔥
How many years laterrr@,?? Love it mikeeeee !!
There was a brief period at the start of his second season where Bennett looked like he could be a real NBA starter. He had a 20 point game against the Spurs, he was in shape, he was playing defense, and he was shooting with confidence even if he was still not scoring consistently. Then he disappeared never to be heard from again. It's like he remembered "Oh yeah, I'm a draft bust" at the start of December 2014.
Glad he wasn’t to disrespectful about kwame didn’t want him to be the next victim of mommas cooking
The disrespect Bennett gets is unbelievable.
He signed here in Puerto Rico just to drop out before the season even started 😭
This is the biggest bust of all time in all of American Sports.
you clearly arent a basketball fan. more number 1 picks end up like bennet than not.
@@soulfly3438 I’ll get you banned from CZcams for your dirty comment on what you said to him. You are a massive disgrace for your comment on what he said. If you don’t apologize or edit out the comment then you are sentenced to 6 months in jail.

I remember going to a g league game one time and randomly seeing Anthony Bennett playing for the suns g league affiliate
Love your videos mike
Ngl 2013 draft ended up being pretty decent but the top 10 was pure trash.
Except Embiid.
2014?
You mean 2013
@@isakmaaan0326 I meant 2013 my bad lol
Except Victor Oladipo
if somehow someone had a time machine, entered the Cav's war room and selected Giannis he probably wouldn't even have been in the NBA after his rookie year. Giannis felt very isolated and lonely his rookie year because his family was denied access to the USA a few times and without Herb Kohl, ( The Bucks owner at the time,) who was a US senator working tirelessly behind the scenes to get them visas Giannis probably would have gone back to Greece. however, you never know with Giannis as he is extremely resilient and a hard worker.
Wow, I didn’t know this about the Bucks owner. That’s awesome. I’m not familiar with him, but i’m officially a fan. I always find myself rooting for the Bucks because of Giannis, so now I have another reason to root for them.
Bro I love your channel 👌🏿💯👌🏿💯
Thanks my man!
ayyy what's up with those meal plate things he was advertising those look bomb af!!!!!
the situation a prospect is in can really change the perspective of they career.
I am pretty sure that Giannis would have been traded from the Cavs when LeBron returned. Giannis was still raw at the time, and LeBron wouldn't have wanted to wait for him to develop as he was in "win now" mode. Giannis would probably still have been included in the trade to acquire Kevin Love or some other player who could help the Cavs at that moment.
Aint gonna lie, that steake w potatoes looking fire, LOL
That shit looked like straight garbage.
I think back then there weren't as many teams in the NBA so there just weren't as many spots available for draft picks to fill up and get a chance to play compared to now.
Anthony Bennett. Beast in College... and was never able to pan out in the pros; it was the quickest fall off by any pro athletes I've ever seen.
But, he should had never went #1 in the first place.
Overall he should've been a 2nd round pick. He was just so bad. Not even a good role or bench player
Heart Mike,💪♥️
Actually had me for sec with the bodyguard thing 😂
I’m from Puerto Rico and he signed the contract but he never played here (a few days before the season was going to start he said he wasn’t going to play here”
Hapoel Jerusalem officially sign Anthony Bennett , Sean Kilpatrick and Thon Maker for the 21/22 season.
Side Note
I am from Puerto Rico and i am a huge fan of the league over here. Anthony Bennet hasnt played a single game over here yet and each team has played at least 4-5 games
Hapoel Jerusalem officially sign Anthony Bennett , Sean Kilpatrick and Thon Maker for the 21/22 season.
As a Cavs fan when they made that pick that ship blew my mind I was like who? See kids just say no to drugs
Hey Mike! How about if you did a "what if Giannis had been the no 1 pick of the 2013 draft" video?
I once went to a Greensboro Swarm game where Bennett was on the other team. A co-worker kept “heckling him saying “HE WAS #1” like spongebob lol. Bennett dropped 30 & the swarm lost…
This is such a interesting video.
You could make a what if,about the Cavs picking Giannis instead of Bennett. Like a full on "What if..." video. Please 😁😊
Definitely feel like Giannis wouldn't be the same player in Cleveland, and quite possibly MN. But boy does that sound like a fun "What If?"
@@DC180PP Yeah, but LeBron was looking to compete now. Giannis’ didn’t have the kind of muscle he currently does, and Kevin Love still fit the bill for a win-now team. Maybe they could’ve kept Wiggins and Giannis (if they hypothetically took him over Bennett), but there’s also a chance they trade both if LeBron isn’t interested in gunning for a championship with such a young core. I think what happened in LA is a perfect example of that too: Ingram & Lonzo traded for AD, a big-man in his prime
00:56 HUGE TYPO... IT SAY “FG%”, not “3 ptFG%”. But you got it right wit da voice over
I'm not a big college sports fan, but I at least watch March Madness and every year I know a bunch of names in the draft. When Bennett was drafted I had literally never heard of him in my life.
The Celtics in 2017 pulled off a steal. After landing the #1 pick from the KG, PP trade with the Nets then trading that #1 pick to Philly moving back to #3 and taking Jayson Tatum. One of Danny Ainge's greatest moves
The fack that the #1 pick has less space besides allí your comercial jajajajajja actually factsssss xD
This was one of the weakest drafts of the 2010s, there was no consensus number 1 as well as a lot of players who were considered projects in the lottery. Oladipo didn’t get good until his 3rd team and Giannis was the biggest luck of the draw in the last 10 years.
I remember when they picked him I didn’t even know who he was. Had literally never heard of him on draft night. Explains why he was so shitty
Bennett just got a raw deal man sad that people are making him the new kwame brown it happens to some players and ruins them some organizations just are not it and if you are mentally not prepared you can be hit pretty hard
I'm rooting for Markelle Fultz. Watched a fair few games post injuries at Philadelphia and then pre injury on a very weak Magic roster and he looked sharp, stats were solid, and you could see real promise. He comes back and even stays just at that level then yeah, he's not a number 1 pick, but he's a solid 15+ pick maybe. And if he improves then he'd be a decent lottery pick. Just odd 76ers taking him and then treating things how they did: shoulda used that pick to trade for a moderately established PG like a Schroëder level (with other bits heading out too ofc)
what’s even weirder is he has the perfect attributes to be the perfect stretch 4 however he came a little too early in the age of the ‘tweener’ not absolving him but that played a big part
In college, this guy dogged it more than anyone I've ever witnessed during warmups and stretching. I know, that isn't actual basketball. But I mean, he reallllly dogged it.
Anthony Bennett has to be the most random number 1 pick ever
He was supposed to be bigger charles barkley type
Could you do a video on the worst jerseys worn by all of the leagues teams?
Bruh, you better lay low. Kwame headhunting 😂😂😂
Can you do a Calvin Cambridge career sim after when you're done with the other one you're doing right now
Mike make a "What If Tim Duncan was an one and done" video plssss
You Forgot "KWAAA MEEE BROWN" LOL
Point proven you might be good in College,High School or in Europe…BUT the NBA is another beast
Injuries, Work Ethic, and Environment. That three is the main ingredients for a prospect to be Good or Bad for the rest of their career.
The NFL draft used to be the same way back in the day where alot of picks never played.. it's because back them people could make more working some jobs.
The title is worded like people was expecting giannis to be in the top 5
Legend has it: the monstars stole his powers 😂
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY knows how these players will turn out in ANY sport!.... To ever say " How did this team, or that team miss"? Is ridiculous!..... Nobody has a crystal ball for these things!....
Crazy
Anthony Bennett and Jamarcus Russell should make a step brothers 2 movie together lol
I did not know he signed over here. I might go watch him play 😂
Hi mike
He hoopin foams gg 😂😂😂
I love when the teams wind up with their targets after they flop in the NBA.
For example. In that Wiggins Parker Embiid draft. I wanted Parker most on Boston. Second Wiggins. Third Embiid.
I had it way wrong.
If the Cavs drafted McLemore at that time with Kyrie, it would be the early version of Sexton and Garland.
I was one of his biggest fans but I had no clue he would go 1st I thought top 10 at most. He clearly wasn't the guy from that draft cavs were better off going with Alex Len 😂
As a cavs fan this is pain, what could’ve been…
You can make a what if video for all other 14 teams passing on Giannis honestly
I see a lot of Derrick Williams with this guy he looks to be to smaller than all the sf/pf but did not have a guard skill set to make up for it.
Has anyone thought of it the same as the jamarcus russel situation? Where, once they signed a rookie #1 overall contract with tons of money, they just stopped caring about the game because they were set for life
I’ll never understand that mindset. Like yeah it’s awesome to get set for life money, but if you put in THAT amount of work throughout your entire life to make it to the league, are you not doing so with the main desire to be an all time great, with the set for life money just being a nice addition?
Yes that’s exactly what I think also. In college it was probably more lax for him and then once he got a big cheque and it became actual tough work in the nba he just gave up.
Markelle Fultz this season 13, 3, and 5 also shooting 40% from the field, honestly not terrible.
New Mic huh mike?
I didn’t know there was a basketball league in Puerto Rico until today
Yeah bro the BSN .. Carlos Arroyo and JJ Barea started there.
PJ Tucker even played there
Basketball is a global brand
@@user-qu9ku3dr5y I know it is I just didn’t know there was a league in Puerto Rico
JaMarcus Russell comes to mind as a Raiders fan. I think we were finally able to stop paying him a couple years ago.
Forreal then taking Bennett at 1 was so surprising, like they could have literally drafted giannis and it would have been just about the same thing in terms of drafting a no name who didn’t belong in the lottery😂
Let’s see do a what if 👀
fultz had a shoulder nerve injury and played with Simmons and embid he has a great chance of reaching his potential on the magic
As a Canadian this still hurts 😥
“WOAH”!!! 2k14 vibes 😂😂😂😂
i died at the logan paul joke
11:03 The reason why those draft picks didn't play in 1952 is because those players decided to go into non-basketball careers after College. Keep in mind the NBA was still new at the time and players could earn more money in a normal job with their degrees. For example, Joe Dean played in a semi-pro league called the "National Industrial Basketball League" and played in the Olympics while working at LSU's athletic department. As the NBA became more popular and started paying players more that sort of thing went away.
5:03, that plate looked so sad
That meal looks like it’s 50 percent cheaper than “grocery store ingredients”
What's up Mike?
Yeah I always wondered why Stephen A never destroyed Bennett in the media but for 20+ years he was so passionate about trashing Kwame 🤷 it just feels like he has a personal issue with Brown
How many years has Stephen A played in the NBA? Commentators like him literally have no experience playing the game. Commentators should only be former players
McDonald's? Well that probably is the reason you no longer hear from Anthony Bennett 😂
Has there ever been another first pick that got moved every year while he was in the league? The guy didnt play for any team more than a full year.
