In 2013, a young sharp shooting power forward named Anthony Bennett from The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) was drafted first by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After playing in 35 games for UNLV, he averaged 16.1 points per game on 53.3% shooting and 37.5% from deep. While he did suffer from a nagging shoulder injury during his lone collegiate year, there was solid belief among NBA scouts that he could be a very strong player in the professional league.
His length at 6’8”, youth (20 years old), and ability to shoot led some publications to believe that he had the “highest ceiling in [that] year’s draft” (SBNATION).
