He had 40 points last year.

Although he may have a few more additions to his game like intangibles and tenacity, I also think has as many or more red flags than any of the other top 5 guys as well.
Red flags? What red flags? I don't see any.

Some scouts are saying Bennett has the best pure skills out of the top ranked forwards so I'm not sure why you think he has a lower offensive ceiling. He also has much better speed than Reinhart/Draisaitl.

Strange take.
