Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) – The Cleveland Cavaliers have officially brought No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Bennett into the fold, signing him on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
No terms of the deal were disclosed by the club, but the Plain Dealer reported it is worth $16.7 million over three years.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-8, 240-pound power forward was voted the top freshman in the Mountain West Conference last season after posting averages of 16.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per contest for UNLV.<\/p>\n
He made league history as the first native Canadian to be selected the NBA’s No. 1 pick back on June 27.<\/p>\n
Cleveland also officially announced that swingmen Sergey Karasev and Carrick Felix have been signed, though the paper reported those deals had been consummated earlier in the offseason.<\/p>\n
Karasev was selected with the Cavaliers’ second first-round choice at No. 19 overall, while the team took Felix with the third selection of the second round (No. 33 overall).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
