It’s been well covered that the Cleveland Cavaliers No. 1 pick and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft, Anthony Bennett, hasn’t had all that great a rookie season.
Now there’s some historical context.
That’s right, Bennett received exactly zero votes for Rookie of the Year. The only other players to accomplish that were Greg Oden and Blake Griffin, but they both missed their entire first seasons due to injury. Bennett played. He just didn’t play that well.
Michael Carter-Williams won the award, gathering 104 of a possible 124 first-place votes. Orlando’s Victor Oladipo finished second and Trey Burke of Utah was third.
