The Brooklyn Nets are taking another gamble.
The Brooklyn Nets are Bennett’s fourth team in a four-year stretch, which is very uncommon with a former No. 1 pick. His rookie year for the Cavaliers was bad to say the least. Bennett was a throw-in with in the Cleveland and Minnesota trade that sent Kevin Love to the Cavaliers to join LeBron James.
To the surprise of the NBA landscape, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him with the first overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft after a promising freshman campaign at UNLV.
Before the Brooklyn Nets signed him to a deal, the Nets worked out the 6’8″ Bennett for two days at a veterans mini-camp back in May and he did well, according to various media reports.
