Anthony Bennett being taken with the #1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft is your classic case of “groupthink,” when everyone looked at Bennett and just went along with the conventional thinking that he was a can’t-miss prospect.

This pick looks even worse when you consider the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo was also drafted in the first round, and is now (arguably) the best player in the NBA.
