I think people are expecting too much of a 20 year old center that was always going to have to take some time to physically mature and hasn't had many opportunities to play with top 6 talent. It's not like Sam Reinhart is ripping up the league. I guess he's rounding into a bottom 6 center as well?

Sam Bennett has 20 points in 55 games this year.
Sam Reinhart has 33 points in 54 games this year.
Last year Reinhart had 42 points in 79 games.
Last year Bennett had 36 in 77.
So far in their young careers, Reinhart has produced 20 more points in basically the same amount of games playing for a garbage team in his own right. If Reinhart isn't tearing up the league, what's Bennett been doing?
