November 13, 2013Rob Chudzinski on the secondary: “it allows us to do more things as guys improve.”
November 13, 2013A lot of people are talking without a lot of experience. When it comes to being in that position, it’s rough. You’re 21, 22. Everyone has something to say. When things aren’t going well, they’re usually not very nice. You’ve got to be mentally very strong.
— Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah in regard to Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Anthony Bennett. Bennet has been a focal point through the first two weeks of the NBA season as he has struggled on the offensive end despite being the No. 1 overall draft pick. The Cavaliers—similar to a certain WFNY scribe—have since referred to Bennett as a “luxury” due to having an established frontcourt in place. “Coming in No. 1 from the Draft, everybody has high expectations,” said Bennett. “This situation, I don’t have to produce right away. I feel like there’s a lot of other players, young talented players in my position and on the team who can help me out along the way. I’m just here for the learning experience and then later on in the season, hopefully I can do my thing.” On the season, Bennet is averaging 0.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 10.9 minutes in seven games played.

I just keep telling myself, “He can’t possibly be this bad.”…
Hopefully doing your “thing” involves doubling your scoring average….umm, I mean increasing it by 10 fold, 15….
Surprised Joke Noah had something nice to say
What a blow to the Cavs’ organization to have the number one overall pick the year before LeBron could possibly return only to have him turn out to be the biggest draft bust ever !
