• A flurry of trades has happened before at the NBA draft, but never before has a Canadian-born player been taken No. 1 overall.

• Thursday was historic as the Cleveland Cavaliers took Anthony Bennett, a power forward out of UNLV, with the No. 1 overall pick, spurning big men Nerlens Noel and Alex Len and shocking the experts. But that wasn't the only surprise.

• Our Mitch Lawerence breaks down the first round (trade key at the bottom).

• 1. CAVS

• Anthony Bennett

• UNLV 6-8, PF

• Hooray, Canada! Bennett is the first Canadian to go No. 1 in the NBA draft. But does this non-passing, low-post scorer really fit with Kyrie Irving?

• 2. MAGIC

• Victor Oladipo

• Indiana 6-4¼, SG

• The rebuilding Magic went the safe route, taking a coachable player who is going to be good. How good?

• 3. WIZARDS

• Otto Porter, Jr.

• Georgetown 6-8½, SF

• The former Hoya can defend, and the Wizards need a starting small forward. Trevor Ariza, the ex-Knick, wasn’t the answer.

• 4. BOBCATS

• Cody Zeller

• Indiana 7-0¾, C

• The Bobcats may have reached here. Scouts say Zeller struggles against athletic players, is a defensive liability and is soft.

• 5. SUNS

• Alex Len

• Maryland 7-1, C

• New Suns coach Jeff Hornacek wants to run the old Utah offense, which will let Len show his talents in low post and as a passer.

• 6. PELICANS -a

• Nerlens Noel

• Kentucky, 6-11¾, C

• Slid from No. 1 spot because of ACL injury, got traded to Philly (with a future No. 1) for Jrue Holiday. So the Sixers get another center with a bad knee.

• 

• HOWARD SIMMONS/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

• Projected top pick Nerlens Noel falls to the No. 6 slot.

• 7. KINGS

• Ben McLemore

• Kansas 6-4¾, SG

• McLemore thought he should have gone No. 1 and he might turn out to be the best player in this draft.

• 8. PISTONS

• Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

• Georgia 6-5½, SG

• Are you sitting? Joe Dumars might have struck gold for once in the draft with an athletic shooter.

• 9. T-WOLVES -b

• Trey Burke

• Michigan 6-1¼, PG

• GM Flip Saunders took Burke to move him to Utah, which thinks it has finally found a replacement for Deron Williams.

• 10. BLAZERS

• C.J. McCollum

• Lehigh 6-3, PG

• Damian Lillard was Rookie of the Year, so where that leaves McCollum now is anyone’s guess.

• 11. 76ERS

• Michael Carter-Williams

• Syracuse, 6-5¾, G

• With rookie GM Sam Hinkie in charge, the Sixers are rebuilding. Carter-Williams replaces Jrue Holiday as starting point guard.

• 12. THUNDER

• Steven Adams

• Pittsburgh 7-0, C

• He’s raw and very methodical, but he still worked his way into a lottery pick with some very impressive workouts.

• 13. MAVS -c

• Kelly Olynyk

• Gonzaga 7-0, PF

• Mavs were busy wheeling and dealing, first sending Olynyk to Celtics for Boston’s No. 16 pick.

• 14. JAZZ -b

• Shabazz Muhammad

• UCLA, 6-6¼, SF

• Muhammad, whom one scout called a “good shooter, but a poor man’s James Harden,’’ went to the Timberwolves in the Burke trade.

• 

• KEITH BEDFORD

• Lucas Nogueira of Brazil wins haircut (or lack thereof) of the night. He ends up with the Hawks.

• 15. BUCKS

• Giannis Antetokounmpo

• Greece, 6-9, SF

• They call him the “Greek Freak,’’ but he’s all of 18 years of age, so who knows what he’ll be able to bring to Larry Drew’s new team.

• 16. CELTICS -c,d

• Lucas Nogueira

• Brazil 7-0, PF

• Celtics moved Nogueira to the Hawks. Nogueira originally entered 2011 draft at the age of 18, then backed out.

• 17. HAWKS

• Dennis Schroeder

• Germany 6-2, PG

• Scouts think that Schroeder, who might land in Boston, can be a solid NBA playmaker.

• 18. HAWKS -c,d

• Shane Larkin

• Miami 5-11, PG

• Barry’s son, who gets deal to Dallas, needs to overcome a lack of height and wingspan to be an effective NBA player.

• 19. CAVS

• Sergey Karasev

• Russia, 6-6, SG

• At the end of the day, are all these pieces the Cavs have selected going to keep Kyrie Irving in Cleveland for the long term? We doubt it.

• 20. BULLS

• Tony Snell

• New Mexico 6-7, SG

• Derrick Rose won’t recognize all the new backcourt players he’ll be playing with when he finally takes the court next season.

• 21. JAZZ -b

• Gorgui Dieng

• L’ville, 6-10¾, C

• Dieng will take his shot-blocking and defensive skills to the T-Wolves, as he went in the Burke trade with Utah that also landed Muhammad for the T-Wolves.

• 22. NETS

• Mason Plumlee

• Duke, 7-0½, PF

• All Nets fans care about is whether Plumlee learns from Kevin Garnett during his rookie season.

• 

• KATHY WILLENS/AP

• David Stern (c.), in his last NBA draft as commissioner of the league, has some fun with the draft picks.

• 23. PACERS

• Solomon Hill

• Arizona, 6-7, SF

• The Pacers went for insurance in case Danny Granger has problems making a comeback from his knee injury.

• 24. KNICKS

• Tim Hardaway Jr.

• Michigan, 6-6, SG

• It’ll be awfully strange to see Tim’s dad at the Garden, rooting the Knicks on, especially when Miami hits town.

• 25. CLIPPERS

• Reggie Bullock

• UNC, 6-7, SG

• Doc Rivers adds a scorer for Chris Paul to get the ball to (and yes, Paul is re-signing with L.A.).

• 26. T-WOLVES -e

• Andre Roberson

• Colorado 6-7, SF

• Minny moved Roberson to Golden State, which didn’t have a first-round pick.

• 27. NUGGETS -f

• Rudy Gobert

• France, 7-2, PF

• Gobert is heading to Utah in a deal, but the big move in Denver could be free agent Andre Iguodala going to Golden State in a sign-and-trade deal.

• 28. SPURS

• Livio Jean-Charles

• France, 6-9, SF

• He’s only 19 and was projected to go in the second round, but the Spurs have had a lot of success with French players.

• 29. THUNDER -g

• Archie Goodwin

• Kentucky, 6-5, SG

• Had Goodwin stayed for a second season with John Calipari, he might have been a lottery pick in the 2014 draft.

• 30. SUNS -h

• Nemanja Nedovic

• Serbia, 6-4, SG

• Projected as a second-rounder, Nedovic was the seventh European player taken in the first round
