GIF: Anthony Bennett's not a bust, you're a bust
After starting off his rookie season just about the worst way a No. 1 pick could ever hope to, Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Anthony Bennett has begun to turn things around.
Since Jan. 28, Bennett is averaging 8.6 points and 5.5 rebounds, while shooting 44.4 percent from the floor. That's modest, of course, but prior to that point he was averaging 2.4 points and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 25.9 percent.
Things are looking up.
And on Sunday night, Bennett flashed some of the explosiveness scouts had predicted from him at the pro level, leaping after an inbounds pass for a dunk all over Kevin Seraphin.
