Anthony Bennett, one of two former No. 1 draft picks traded to the Timberwolves for Kevin Love, hopes to have the "last laugh" in his basketball career.
Former Wolf Bennett hopes for 'last laugh'

After four flops with four different NBA teams, Bennett won a EuroLeague championship ring with Fenerbache, the Turkish professional basketball club, last weekend.
The 24-year-old forward played just 72 seconds in the title game and did not score. However, Bennett, who was traded to Minnesota in 2014 from Cleveland with No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins, apparently still has confidence he can be the basketball star NBA scouts projected he would become. Bennett was the No. 1 pick in 2013. Fenerbache gave him a second chance as a late postseason roster addition, but he received little playing time.
Leading up to the final game of the EuroLeague championship, Bennett told reporters, "I feel I have the last laugh. I just turned 24 years old, lot of time left."
