Anthony Bennett is back in the NBA........well, kind of.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the former No. 1 overall pick has agreed to a non-guaranteed deal with the Houston Rockets. In the agreement, Bennett will have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot with an invitation to the Rockets training camp.
With a career average of 4.4 points and 3.1 rebounds, it is easy to understand why so many fans were confused by the signing of Bennett. He has not played an NBA game since the 2016-17 season as a member of the Brooklyn Nets, and normally a player of his caliber would not get a chance to play for a championship team until he has proven his worth in the league.
