Anthony Bennett Signs Two-Year Deal with Brooklyn Nets

Former UNLV standout and number one pick Anthony Bennett hopes to find a home in Brooklyn.

Anthony Bennett's NBA odyssey continues with a stop in Brooklyn after signing a two-year deal (only the first year is guaranteed). To the surprise of nearly everyone, Cleveland selected him first overall in the 2013 NBA draft after a promising freshman campaign at UNLV. The idea was that he represented the NBA's new power forward, the "stretch 4." This is someone who can spread the floor by consistently knocking down threes, terrorizing defenses with pick-and-pops and hard pick-and-rolls.
