Anthony Bennett has scored in double figures in two of the Cleveland Cavaliers' past four games but is having a widely disappointing rookie season after being named the first pick in last year's NBA Draft.

Bennett has received words of encouragement from past and present NBA stars such as Vince Carter, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler.

“They trash talk me on the court,” Bennett said. “After the game, that’s when they tell me to keep my head up.”

Bennett believes he has turned a corner in his play.

“I’m relaxing now. Just going out there and playing basketball,” Bennett said. “Before I was constantly thinking, but now it’s free flow. I know all the plays, so I just have to go out there and play.”
