Former Cavaliers Have Found Homes In Brooklyn

The Cleveland Cavaliers shocked the world in 2013 when they selected Anthony Bennett out of with the first pick in the NBA draft. Bennett averaged 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game during his one and only season at the University of Nevada, Los Vegas (UNLV).

Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, Bennett couldn’t translate his success at the collegiate level to the NBA. During his one season with the wine and gold, the UNLV product averaged a dismal 4.2 points and 3 rebounds per game while shooting 35 percent form the field and 25 percent from behind the arc.
