Reports: Nets Take A Chance On Former No. 1 Overall Pick Anthony Bennett

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Anthony Bennett, the first overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, is reportedly signing with the Brooklyn Nets.

The 6-foot-8 power forward has signed a two-year contract with the Nets, according to multiple reports.

Since becoming the top pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Bennett, 23, has been labeled a bust and has bounced around the league.

He played in 52 games with Cleveland as a rookie, averaging 4.2 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. He was then sent to Minnesota in the same trade that brought Kevin Love to the Cavaliers.
