Bennett is already a little taller tha Duchene, and is very close to Duchene's draft weight. Bennett saw a ridiculous increase in his offensive output in this, his second season in the OHL. His point/game average of 1.6 is 21 percentage points higher than Duchene's from his draft year, even though he is six months younger an Duchene was when he was drafted.
Duchene is a better skater than Bennett ever will be, but all other signs suggest that Bennett is a more highly skilled player.
