I don't see it as much of a problem he can't do a pull up. Chances are his strength is in his legs and not so much in his back/upper body yet. It always seems like the guys who are shorter and lighter can do many more than a tall player. When I was 17 I couldn't do a pull up either being 6'0 and 185 but still won every fight I had in Junior and was still able to hit hard and run guys over.
If anything I see it as a positive that Bennet has more of a natural strength than weight lifting strength. It won't be hard for him to put on muscle and he may be a beast by the time he does.
