Despite no longer playing in the NBA and being labeled a “bust” for not living up to expectations after getting selected first overall in the 2013 draft, Anthony Bennett still has a lot of confidence in his game and believes he will have the last laugh once he calls it a career.
The Canadian international and former UNLV stalwart, recently won the Euroleague title with his current club, Fenerbache. He then reminded all his doubters of his age and made it clear that he still has a lot of time left to prove that he deserved to be a number one pick.

He may have added the highest pro team award in Europe to his list of achievements, but he was far from being a big contributor to Fenerbache, as he only averaged 0.6 points and 0.9 rebounds in 10 games for them.
It remains to be seen if he'll receive another offer from an NBA team but it's a long shot for now, as he has not been able to impress scouts given the lack of production he's had. In 151 total games in the NBA, the 6-foot-8 forward only has measly averages of 4.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.5 assists.
