Can Anthony Bennett fulfill his promise? History suggests it will be tough

Sean Marks has no problem defending the minimal risk he's taking with Anthony Bennett, the Cavs former No. 1 pick who had already been traded, bought out and waived by age 23.

"We were paying very close attention to him. He’s a guy who really needs his confidence to grow," Marks told Fred Kerber. "He’s still very raw. He’s got a better opportunity to really play with us and help this team. … A lot of it is going to be up to Anthony himself to figure it out, to put in the time to make the most of this opportunity.
