It doesn't take a genius to see Bennett's game hasn't translated well to the pro leagues.

Considering one below average season and an above average playoff performance has passed since your comment, and Bennet has just turned 21, not 26 without putting it together at centre, the quality of your original comment hasn’t changed.
It doesn’t take a genius to see it hasn’t translated well. But it takes just a little bit of smarts to see a definitive statement on the future of his development like “won’t translate” is misguided and premature. Hasn’t after 2 seasons =/= “won’t,” so it’s not a comment i’d be proud to stand behind anytime soon.
