Woes of 2013 draft class all over the court on Monday night

When Michael Carter-Williams was traded for backup wing Tony Snell on Monday, it further underscored just how disappointing the 2013 NBA draft class has been.

And that evidence was all over the court - and on the bench - in preseason action on Monday night.

The Chicago Bulls completed the trade with the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, landing the 2013 rookie of the year for a back wing player in Snell that didn't figure to see a lot of minutes for the Bulls this season. With Khris Middleton out for the season with a hamstring injury, the Bucks were in desperate need of depth on the wing, so they took a flier on Snell and didn't hesitate to part with Carter-Williams, who gained little traction in Milwaukee after being acquired in a February 2015 trade that sent Brandon Knight to Phoenix.

Carter-Williams will come to Chicago and try to compete for minutes as the backup to Rajon Rondo. The Bulls also have Jerian Grant, Isaiah Canaan and Spencer Dinwiddie at point guard behind Rondo. Grant scored 12 points in 17 minutes and hit a tying jumper in the final seconds of regulation to force overtime in a 108-104 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.

Up the road in Detroit, Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the few stars to emerge from that 2013 class that also includes Utah's Rudy Gobert, Oklahoma City's Steven Adams, Atlanta's Dennis Schroder, Portland's Allen Crabbe (a second-rounder), and Minnesota's Gorgui Dieng and Shabazz Muhammad.

But the poster child for the class's weakness is Anthony Bennett, who is on his fourth team since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bennett did not play for Brooklyn on Monday night in a 120-99 loss to the Nets.
