How far away the time when Antho, one of the most promising prospects of his generation, scattered great promises in preseason with the Cavs.

Already ten years following his draft, the Canadian with the dimensions king size (2m03 for 111kg) will discover a 14th different team since the start of his career (counting his passages in G-League and D-League). The Korean Basket League nonetheless attracts a “grand” name in his somewhat confidential championship where very few renowned players evolve. Already 30 years old, Bennett’s promised great career already seems far behind him. Let’s hope, however, that he enjoys the Fresh Morning Country.
