INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The No. 1 overall pick is still looking for basket No. 1. Anthony Bennett, the first player taken in this years NBA draft, hasnt scored a field goal for the Cavaliers. Through four games, Clevelands burly forward from Brampton, Ont., has missed each of his 15 shots from the field, including eight 3-pointers. He appears lost with the ball in his hands, causing some to wonder if the Cavs made a mistake with their choice. Hes O-for-the-season so far. According to STATS, Bennett is just the fifth rookie -- playing a minimum of five minutes -- to begin his career without making a field goal in the first four games. None of the other four, though, was selected ahead of every player in the draft. Cavs coach Mike Brown said there are several reasons for Bennetts drought. "Hes probably pressing to a certain degree," Brown said after practice Tuesday. "So its probably a little of that and a little bit of being on a big stage now in the regular season with it counting. Theres probably some of where his opponents are looking at him and saying that theyre going to come at him. They may not care that hes the No. 1 pick." For comparisons sake, Philadelphia 76ers rookie Michael Carter-Williams has 26 field goals already, and eight other rookies who have attempted at least 15 shots have put one shot through the rim. Bennetts alarming field-goal deficiency extended to four games Monday night when he went 0 for 3 in 10 minutes during a 93-92 win over Minnesota. He was not available to speak to reporters following practice as he quickly dressed and went home to take care of personal business before the Cavs flew to Milwaukee. The 20-year-old showed flashes of offensive firepower during the exhibition season, but the regular season has been nothing but a series of missed shots. He is 2 for 4 at the free-throw line, with each attempt coming in his NBA debut against Brooklyn. The Cavs insist its too early for them to be overly concerned about Bennetts scoring woes. Brown dismissed any thought of sitting the first-year player to clear his head. However, Bennetts inability to score -- hes averaging 12.8 minutes per game -- could show that hes going to need some extra time before he can be counted on as a major contributor. "I look at it as hes a guy that can grow slowly into his role with us and thats the exciting part of it," Brown said. "I just want him to keep going out there and playing, and if you can take advantage of your opponent on either end of the floor, go ahead and do it." And while Bennett hasnt delivered on the offensive end, the 6-foot-8, 240-pounder has provided some solid defence and rebounding. At Indiana last Saturday night, when he tried to flip in a layup and had it roll around the rim and out, Bennett grabbed six boards. "Defensively, hes been better than what I thought," Brown said. "I actually thought he was going to struggle defensively -- bad. But hes picked up on the concepts and hes been tougher and stronger than what I expected. "At the end of the day, and Ive seen it with my own eyes, he can score. He can score from all three levels and once he figures out how hard he has to play offensively in order for it to happen on a possession by possession occurrence, hell be good." Until then, Bennett is getting support from his teammates. Theyre urging him to keep his chin up and the shots will eventually go down. "We just keep encouraging him," point guard Jarrett Jack said. "We want him to understand, You made it this far because you are a special player and dont ever forget that. The one thing you do have to have in this league to be successful is confidence, and once that starts to waver, its going to have a snowball effect. "There was going to be a time this season when he was going to have a tough three-game stretch. Its just that it started in the first couple of games. There are 78 more to go. Once were in January or February and hes being his old self, Ill go over to him and say, You did all that worrying for nothing." First, though, Bennett needs to make a shot.

Harry Kewell inspired the visitors to a 3-1 victory in February 2003, as England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson fielded a different side in each half.Current England captain Wayne Rooney made his debut in that friendly and will feature at the Stadium of Light this week when the sides meet again.

Recently enjoyed a stint as player-manager of Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters, before returning to the UK to be a television pundit.Paul RobinsonOne of several debutants, Robinson came off the bench to complete 45 minutes in an England shirt for the first time. He is probably best known for a high-profile error in a damaging 2-0 defeat to Croatia in a Euro 2008 qualifier. The 36-year-old was part of Burnleys squad during the second half of their 2015-16 Championship-winning season, although he did not play.Danny MillsBest known for his time in a talented Leeds side, Mills surprisingly never represented his country at Wembley despite winning 19 caps - a record for an England player in the modern era. Now works as a pundit and co-commentator on radio and TV.

The 37-year-old retired from playing last year and now works as a TV pundit.Wes BrownReplacing United team-mate Ferdinand, Brown came on for one of 23 caps. A bit-part player for England, his appearances are spread over an 11-year period. Brown is still playing for Sunderland.Sol CampbellHaving formed a formidable partnership with Ferdinand, Campbell played an integral part in creating a solid-looking England. After retirement in 2012, Campbell turned his attention to politics, unsuccessfully campaigning to be the Conservative candidate to become Mayor of London. Sol Campbell , Frank Lampard and Michael Owen dejected after an Australia goal Ledley KingA one-club man with Tottenham, King suffered an injury-plagued career, meaning he can only lay claim to 23 England caps, despite possessing a wealth of ability. The Australia defeat was Kings second cap for England. After retiring in 2012, King continues to represent Spurs at ambassadorial level.Ashley ColeThe most-capped full-back in England history with 107 appearances, Coles international career was very much in its infancy when the men from Down Under were in town. Cole now plays alongside Steven Gerrard at LA Galaxy.Paul KoncheskyA surprise debutant, Konchesky replaced Cole at left-back to earn one of two England caps. The 36-year-old is still playing, having completed the 2015/16 campaign with QPR.David BeckhamEngland captain Beckham completed 45 minutes on his 57th international appearance. Hed go on to win a total of 115 caps for his country and after retiring in 2013 at PSG, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and LA Galaxy midfielder remains one of the most marketable figures in the world.

The former Chelsea star is still playing in the MLS with New York City.Danny MurphyCompeting with the likes of Paul Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard, Murphy could only muster nine caps in his career, making only two more after his appearance against Australia. He now works as a pundit and co-commentator for TV and radio.Paul ScholesNot one of the highlights of an otherwise impressive international career, Scholes did have a goal ruled out in a disappointing first half. He is another who works as a TV pundit. Jermaine Jenas made his England debut and marked it with an assist Jermaine JenasAnother debutant, Jenas was a rare bright spark at the Boleyn Ground, earning an assist for Englands goal. The 33-year-old went on to make 20 more appearances on the international stage. Jenas is also a television and radio pundit.Kieron DyerA player dogged by injuries, Dyer enjoyed a 45-minute run out here. Dyer is not active in the footballing world, but made a recent appearance on a popular reality TV show.Darius VassellOften forgotten by football fans of this generation, Vassell actually scored six times in an England shirt, but couldnt muster a goal on a forgettable night. He retired in January, having been without a club since 2012.James BeattieIn one of only two starts on the international stage, Beattie failed to impress and was another who was subbed at half-time. After a unsuccessful spell as manager of Accrington, Beattie coached at Swansea under Garry Monk, but left after Monk was dismissed. He is now a director of a sports recruitment company. Francis Jeffers scored for England but never earned a second international cap Francis JeffersEnglands goalscorer on a frustrating night, Jeffers appearance at West Ham proved his first and last, therefore finishing with an impressive international goals-per-game ratio! His career petered out after such promising beginnings, and he is now coaching at Everton where his career began.Michael OwenLiverpool were in the middle of falling out of contention in the 2002-03 Premier League title race, and such a dip in form was affecting star striker Owen, who looked shorn of confidence when missing two chances against the Aussies. Now a successful owner and breeder of racehorses, Owen also works as a TV pundit and co-commentator.Wayne RooneyA momentous day for the then-rookie Rooney, as the Everton starlet become the youngest player to pull on the England jersey since James Prinsep in 1879 when taking the field. Recently overtook Sir Bobby Charlton to become all-time England top goalscorer, and will lead England as skipper at Euro 2016.
