With the number one pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Anthony Bennett, which surprised just about every person in the building. Prospects like Nerlens Noel and Victor Oladipo had been predicted to go first in many mock drafts, but the Cavs took an unexpected route by selecting the first-year forward from UNLV. The fact of the matter is, Cleveland has a pretty damn good track record of success with number one picks... anyone remember this guy?
Bennett's college numbers are strong, averaging 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. While it remains to be seen how Bennett transitions to the professional level, one thing's for sure: he'll be equipped in a great pair of sneakers. Looking back on some of Bennett's best sneaker moments with UNLV, the Canadian forward seems to prefer playing in retro styles, but also likes to switch it up with more current models. These are The 5 Best Sneakers Worn by Anthony Bennett at UNLV.
