Taiwan Hsinchu Siege Lions basketball team was teased by fans as "NBA parallel cargo storage station". They signed Hashem Tabit in the previous two years, the latter was the second place in the NBA in 2009 and one of the most soccer ones in NBA history. They averaged only 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in their NBA career, and performed very poorly.
After the contract for Tabit ended, the Siege Lions basketball team was looking for a younger big foreign player. In the end, they signed Anthony Bennett and collected another NBA parallel player. Bennet played at Kaohsiung Iron Man Club in the Taiwan League last season, playing 13 games, averaging 25.2 points, 14 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block. Although he is the most soccer No. 1 pick in the NBA, he has performed at the dominant level in the Taiwan League and has become a popular foreign aid.
Everyone should be familiar with Bennett. He was the No. 1 NBA pick in 2013. That year was the junior year of the draft. Currently, there are only three players, including Gobert , Antetokounmpo and Oladipo, who were selected for All-Star , with a very low success rate. At that time, the Cavaliers , who had the No. 1 pick, didn't know who to choose. After thinking about it, he decided to choose Bennett. The Cavaliers' management and fans were not so excited, and even Bennett himself couldn't believe that he could become the No. 1 pick.
How bad is Bennate's performance in the NBA? He made 0 of 15 shots in the first four games of his career and scored 2 points with only free throws, setting a new low for the No. 1 pick in the first four games of his career since the NBA implemented the official draft system (1966). His poor performance missed the All-Star Rookie Challenge and became the second No. 1 pick to fail to be selected for the All-Star Rookie Challenge (first Kwame Brown ).
Bennet averaged 4.2 points, 3 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks per game in his rookie season, with a shooting percentage of 35.6%. He failed to be selected for the All-Rookie Team and even failed to get a single vote. He became the first healthy No. 1 pick to score zero points in the Best Rookie selection since the point system was implemented in 2003.
During the offseason, he was treated as a top deal and sent to Timberwolves by the Cavaliers. He was only 21 years old at the time. The Timberwolves felt that he could still save it, which increased his playing time and 3 games left for him to start. As a result, he averaged only 5.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was only 42.1%. The Timberwolves transferred him to the Development League in anger. The first No. 1 pick in NBA history to be transferred to the Development League was born.
After the season ended, the Timberwolves did not want to keep Bennett, but he had no transaction value and could only break up with by buying out . Bennett thus became the first player in NBA history to be bought out during the rookie contract.
After becoming a free agent, Bennett signed a one-year basic salary contract with Raptors , and averaged only 1.5 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. He performed very badly and was delegated to the Development League for a period of time and was laid off.
Later, he signed a two-year contract with the Nets, but averaged only 5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. He was once again transferred to the Development League and was cut again soon after. Later, he never played a NBA game again.
He has played in the NBA for 4 years, playing 151 games, averaging only 4.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of only 39.2%, and his performance is very bad. He is known as the most soccer No. 1 pick in NBA history, no one. So how much money does a player with such poor performance make in the NBA after playing in four years?
Bennate signed a four-year contract with the Cavaliers for $24 million, with the annual salary of $5.32 million and $5.56 million in the first and second years respectively. He should have received a higher annual salary in the third and fourth years, but he was bought out by the Timberwolves in the third year and finally got $3.65 million. The contract in the fourth year was gone because of a buyout agreement.
He signed an incompletely guaranteed basic salary contract with the Raptors, and after being cut, he received a salary of $950,000.Later, he signed a two-year contract of $2.1 million with the Nets. He was cut in his first season and received a salary of $1.02 million. He made a total of $15.55 million (pre-tax income), which is a low among NBA players, not to mention that he was once an NBA No. 1 pick.
In order to support his family, Bennett played in European for 4 years, but his performance was mediocre. He did not play dominant until last season when he joined the Taiwan League. At the age of 29, he can still dominate the Taiwan League next season.
became the most soccer No. 1 pick in the NBA, and his performance in the European League was mediocre, and the CBA team did not recruit him. The Taiwan League of China became the stage for him to show his skills. He found the feeling of being the No. 1 pick here.
