大衛 - 格裡芬談到安東尼 - 本內特時說道：" 本內特從生下來就比別人更高大，更優秀還有著出眾的天賦。但當形勢變得困難的時候，他就完瞭。我確實是被蒙蔽瞭。人有失手馬有失蹄嘛。"
David Griffin on Anthony Bennett: "His whole life, he rolled out of bed bigger, better, and more talented than everybody else. As soon as it was hard, it was over. I'm the one who got sold the bill of goods and I bought it hook, line, and sinker. You fuck up sometimes."

What I really don't like about this quote though is that it feels manipulative, like damage control. Griffin's acting like he's admitting to a mistake but all he's really doing is shifting a lot of the blame on to Bennett. When Bennett fucked up it was because he didn't have to earn any of his success in life, but when Griffin fucked up it was because we all just fuck up sometimes. He says "I'm the one who got sold the bill of goods and bought hook line and sinker" like he was targeted and duped into believing in Bennett. He said "We had no way of knowing the kid had no desire to overcome adversity whatsoever" but that's such bullshit. you get interviews with the players and can talk their coaches. It's the scouting teams job to know that.
Maybe he's just being honest, but this wreaks of spin.
關於大衛 - 格裡芬這段話，我最不喜歡的一點就是感覺這有點工於心計，就像是一種止損行為。格裡芬表現得像是承認瞭錯誤，但實際上是把一切的指責甩給本內特。當本內特搞砸瞭的時候，就是他命中不該有任何成功；當格裡芬搞砸瞭的時候，就是人有失手馬有失蹄。他說 " 我被蒙蔽瞭 " 就像是他是被算計、被騙瞭才去選的本內特。他說 " 我們無從得知這孩子沒有一點克服逆境的渴望 "，但這簡直是扯淡。你可以面試球員，你還可以和他們的教練聊。那是球探團隊的工作。
可能他是實話實說，但這絕對是在泄憤。

You ’ re right about his lack of range compared to Wade, however I can ’ t imagine on-the-market shooters aren ’ t scrambling to get into that team for what could be considered the best catch-and-shoot opportunities imaginable. Korver ’ s and JR ’ s and Frye ’ s would still wind up in that roster, I think.
射程這個你說對瞭。但我覺得自由市場上的射手們肯定都擠破頭想來騎士，就為瞭得到可想象范圍內最好的的接球投籃機會。我覺得科沃爾、JR、弗萊仍然會來加盟的。

Bennett was such a reach at #1 tho, he was a 5-10 guy on everyone's draft list and then the Cavs shocked everyone by picking him #1. The highest I'd seen him on anyone's predraft list was #4, Bennett was a reach and everyone knew it. Griffin needs to quit acting like it was a surprise that no one could have seen coming.
當時選本內特做狀元實在是太牽強瞭。當時人們的選秀名單上他都是 5-10 順位，然後騎士震驚世人地用狀元簽選瞭他。我見過他在所有人選秀名單中的最高順位是第四，本內特選狀元肯定是扯淡，這所有人都知道。格裡芬別再裝的像 " 沒人能預見未來，所以他水掉是個意外 " 瞭。

Cavs kinda lucked out with that pick being a bust though. Ended up helping them be bad enough to get another #1 pick which probably was the reason Lebron came back. Without Love, I doubt Lebron comes back to Cleveland.

They weren't even that bad in 2014. They held the 9th best odds in that draft. I remember because we held Detroit's pick top 8 protected that year, they had the 8th best odds and Cleveland jumping gave Detroit the 9th pick, which they then had to convey.
Honestly, I think Cleveland wins the lottery that year no matter what.
黃蜂球迷：騎士 2014 年的時候其實沒那麼爛。他們選秀時狀元簽幾率是第九。我之所以記得是因為我們那時手握活塞的前八順位保護簽，他們狀元幾率第八。然後騎士躍居狀元所以活塞就第九瞭，這才把選秀權給瞭我們。
所以，騎士那年不管咋說都是中瞭大獎瞭。

I wonder if he could have succeeded in the NBA eventually if he was picked liked 15th-25th somehwere in that mix.
I feel like a big part of it was confidence with him. If he was just a first round pick instead of having the pressure of being the #1 pick maybe he could have handled that pressure.
Or maybe he never would have been able to hack it? The Suns just cut him so does not bode well for his future anywhere...
我在想如果他是在 15-25 順位被選中的話，他最終能否在 NBA 獲得成功呢？
我覺得他失敗的一大原因就是自信心。如果他隻是個首輪秀，而不用身背狀元的壓力，他也許就能承受瞭。
或者他可能根本就沒有在 NBA 立足的能力？太陽剛把他裁掉瞭，他的前路不知在何方。

[ – ] TimberwolvesGet_that_yarn_KAT 19 指標 18 小時前
Theres a chance Giannis would have developed sooner given number #1 role opportunities straight out of the gate IMO. Or maybe he would have been hampered by the additional pressure?
I am not saying Bennett would have been a star if he would have been drafted 20th or w.e, but I think if it was a confidence/head thing then it probably would have done wonders for Anthony to go later in the draft without the kind of pressure that a #1 pick gets.
我認為，如果字母哥剛進聯盟就是狀元的話，他的潛力會更早地被開發出來。但他也可能會被附加的壓力所阻礙？
我並不是說本內特如果在二十幾順位被選中就會成為巨星，但我覺得如果問題在於自信心或者精神方面的問題，本內特如果在偏後一點的順位被選中的話，他肯定會有更好的發展。
[ – ] KnicksRiceOnTheRun 57 指標 18 小時前
Giannis was pretty mediocre in his first few years in the league.
I remember being on /r/NBA hearing people talk about some Greek Freak and I was so confused why a kid averaging under 10pts a game was such a big deal.
He would've absolutely been labeled a bust if he was held to #1 pick expectations in his first 2-ish years.
字母哥在剛進聯盟的前幾年還是很平淡無奇的。
我記得我在濕乎乎看到有人討論 " 希臘怪物 " 的時候我都很奇怪，一個場均 10 分以下的小孩兒有什麼可討論的？
如果他第一順位被選中的話，在剛進聯盟的前兩年肯定就被貼上水貨的標簽瞭。
