No one has come close to belittling either of them.
If you are referring to me, I posted stats that show Reinhart's progression has been slower than Bennett's over the last two years, whether you include this season or not.
It is a simple fact. As a 15 and a 16 year old, Reinhart was THE guy for his age group of prospects. Bennett came out of 'nowhere' and has now - in my opinion - passed him.
Reinhart has pedigree but Bennett has been progressing more. I'll take that every time.
