Early numbers show 2013 draft class worst in decades
Although it's still very early, the general view on this 2013 NBA draft class is that last spring's predictions were spot-on: it truly is one of the worst in years.
That goes for much-maligned No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett, too, as the Cavaliers forward has struggled to find a way to score points while shooting 28 percent, and has had trouble even cracking the rotation to get on the court in averaging 10 minutes of action per game.
"It's very early," ESPN.com analyst Chad Ford cautions, "but right now, he [Bennett] is looking like the worst in the past 20 years. That includes Greg Oden. Oden was injured all the time, but when he played, he at least looked like a No. 1 pick."
Four other top 10 picks have not taken the court or have played very sparingly because of injury: Nerlens Noel (No. 6), Alex Len (No. 5), Otto Porter Jr. (No. 3) and C.J. McCollum (No. 10).
