Nerlens Noel, Shabazz Muhammad, and Austin Rivers. These guys had serious hype behind their name in high school. Once they went pro, they seemed to disappear.
Bennett just didn't care, he openly admitted that he didn't have passion for the game. Athleticism can get you to a certain point, but you need skill to go with it, otherwise you will be exposed soon and you'll find yourself out of the league
@@andrebryant5081 Dray always had his one on one defensive chops. The system that he plays in allowed him to develop into an above average facilitator.
i remember being a kid and always remember hearing ppl call Olowokandi a “developing center” and he was like in his 10th season. dude was a late 1st round pick that was stupidly taken 1st
I’m from Stockton and used to watch him at UOP; he had no feet. The Rockets won the championship that year so NBA Executives started looking for the next Olajuwon.
But, the NBA has always had busts throughout history, it''s not really necessarily an issue of class order. The best players, according to class order are NBA players who come straight from high school. If you go by being in the NBA at least 8 years, being a starter for a few seasons, and all-star appearances. 77%/78% of that group achieved that feat.
NBA GMs will always be tempted by a big bodied Charles Barkley/Larry Johnson prototype player. They thought Bennett was going to be the next bulldozer in that mold.
The green comparison was spot on tbh. When you look at him in unlv. He showed the type of skill set you’d want in a player like him. Not number 1 but definitely a 1st round talent. He was and still is a lot more gifted than green but sadly he never had the right mentality.
He should’ve been the more appealing version of Draymond Green. Hope he used his money well tho. He’s making a living playing overseas so it can’t be all bad 😬🤧💯.
He seriously have time only being 27 or 28 to work out with Draymond pick from his brain learn how to be a pro to get his last chance in the NBA. He can easily be a better shooter version of Draymond if he got that dog in him to play defense and get rebounds.
@@andrebryant5081 Are you serious? When did Bennett ever play defensive, facilitate, or show high IQ? Only thing they have in common is their physical dimensions
@@andrebryant5081 face facts. He will never be on Draymond's level-now or ever-and all of us know it.

Man you went deep on this one with some good constructive criticisms here. I just feel that every hoop youtuber did a piece on this guy. Children being born now will now about this like we know about Sam Bowie even though we never saw him play.
Another stunted growth in my eyes is the NBA giving all those number one overall picks to Cavs during that period. Besides Kryie ( he almost didn't reach his potential until Bron came back) who benefited during that time period going to Cleveland?
I thnk greg oden was a bigger bust he was a top player in college and went to a team that could have been a contender. The cavs wasn't doing nothin regardless
Naw it was a mid draft and the Cavs fumbled. He had no reason going number 1. Players that had higher expectations and failed are busts. Bennett didn’t have those expectations ever
Stunted Growth has provided us with a GREAT SERIES!!!! He tells the complete unbiased story. This should be on someones weekly sports network. Great work and narration!
On the positive side, it looks like he has more money than the average person will ever make (8 milli💰), and he is still relatively young and can reinvent himself and do something else if he chooses to do so.📈 👔
Great video also I was shocked when the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Anthony Bennett. I believe Anthony Bennett should have been in the 2nd round pick.
@@andrebryant5081 and they ended up getting rid of Dion Waiters. They still should have taken Oladipo. You take the best player available. You don't draft on needs. If you have too much of a good thing, you can always make a trade for what you need.
@@mistermann3225 I personally would have drafted Victor but you would have to trade Dion on draft night. Having too many guards that do the same is an issue. All 3 are ball dominant score first. Having 3 of them is a waste of time on a roster since they're young and immature.
@@andrebryant5081 yeah and trading Dion on draft night for something good would have required a competent organization. There's a reason the Cavs stink most of the time and have only one ring with basically the greatest player of all time...
Thank you so much for such an amazing channel 🙃 Would you please do a "Stunted Growth" video on Duke's Danny Ferry? Considering his high school and college accolades, I'd love to see how you put together a story on his journey to his, quite interesting, NBA career.
Salute from 22 . I was so high on him after his 1 year at UNLV . I was so wroonnnng lol . He was not as talented as I thought . From B Ball lover to another . I love this channel thanks for doing what you do .
This guy literally lived in a hood near where I used to live three years ago in the Jane and Finch area in the borough of North York in Toronto, his was called top and bottom LANE or just LANE and mine was west of Firgrove right on Jane Street called C-Side Connections of just Connections, I had no clue this guy lived there up until after he got drafted, I wished he had done well in the league
I was hoping he would fall to Cleveland at 19 before the draft but I wanted Alex Len at #1 and he never turned the corner either so what do I know.. if only the trade for LaMarcus Aldridge had panned out, those picks would have been Portland's problem
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Do a stunned growth on franchises and start with the cavs they ruin themselves all the time ! Then do Charlotte then Washington... do clippers next year if kawhi leave !
It’s crazy to think that a professional general manager was given about 100 basketball players to choose from and he managed to choose the absolute worse one there out of the 60
Cavs had no choice because Noel was supposed to live up to the hype in being better than AD. The only sure thing during that 2013 draft was Victor and Cavs at the time had their backcourt of the future with Kyrie and Dion.
@Tiger Well where do you fit Victor on a team that has a young Kyrie and year 2 Dion Waiters? It's easier in hindsight to say Cleveland draft Victor but Cleveland got to found a great trade for Dion Waiters to get a SF that young Cavs need.
@Tiger There was no proof LBJ was coming back which explains why Anthony Bennett was taken number 1 overall because he had similar size as LeBron on paper being 6'8 240 as a rookie. Dion didn't like playing second to Kyrie no way would he play 3rd when he couldn't do it for LBJ and Kyrie. You don't draft someone number 1 overall to come off the bench unless you dumb front aka Timberwolves with Ant Edwards.
Cavs picking up Bennett definitely was a huge growth stunt & had no business going 1st overall which he was projected to go 9th, but it’s not going to change the fact that he’s the biggest bust in NBA history
The real issue though is that Anthony Bennett was never even in the conversation as the 1#pick in 2013. It was supposed to be Nerlens Noel but due to his injury he fell down right to #6. Cleveland had big shoes to fill as they needed help at every position except for pg. Victor Oladipo should've been 1# but everyone was concerned about his size and shooting ability as a shooting guard. Otto porter wasn't appealing either so Cleveland basically said YOLO and hoped for the best with Bennett's game.🤷♂️
Outside of Giannis, Rudy Gobert, CJ McCollum, and Victor Oladipo, the 2013 Draft was bad. Those four guys should been the top four picks and after that, the NBA Draft should’ve called it a night.
I moved to Vegas the year he got drafted and everyone here thought he would be the next Lebron on the Cavs. I was even sold on the hype. I think this is the biggest bust in NBA history.
@@stuntedgrowth yeah for some reason I thought he had a longer nba career. I guess because he was lucky enough to collect a couple of rings sitting on the Lakers bench. He also had a decent rookie season.
The 2013 draft was not the worst draft of the past 20 years. If a draft class has a MVP winner, multiple all stars/borderline all stars, and DPOYs then it’s not a bad draft class by default.
You should do an entire video on the Cleveland Cavs commentators and their waning enthusiasm for Bennet and his missed shots… it was hysterical, especially as Bennet continued to miss and have a lousy NBA season… this was prior to Kyrie and Lebron’s rings… pretty funnny
When you mentioned Markelle’s playful demeanour when first getting drafted, I think of Anthony Edwards being something a lot similar if not a lot more playful, and he’s thriving at the moment. Having said that, you might be on to something. Markelle in Orlando seems a lot more measured, I found this to be the case based on his appearsnce on JJ Redicks podcast
I used to watch the NBA draft year in and year out. And I remember watching the 2013 draft, and when Bennett was drafted #1 I was like "how is this guy?!" I watched a lot of College basketball on tv, and while I did hear his name a time or two and some highlights, I never saw the skills or fight in him that commanded # 1 status. It goes to show NA talent evaluators aren't always geniuses.
Bennett actually became a decent player, at least 3pt shooter, at some point in his career. Had he not gotten hurt in pre season with the Rockets in 2019 who knows?
I think that him being drafted as the #1 pick, is probably what messed him up the most. Because what comes with being the number one pick, is high expectations. And he wasn't able to live up to that. But had he been drafted in the later rounds, he might've thrived in the NBA. Because the expectations for him then, would've been way lower.
You could actually argue he should have not been drafted at all. Dude had no work ethic and couldn't handle adversity. He was used to being bigger than other guys in college and once things got hard at the NBA level, he gave up. Him being the No 1 pick is the reason teams kept trying to give him shots, from the D League to even the Houston Rockets as far back as 2019. If he wasn't a No 1 pick, he would have been out of the league much quicker than he already was.
