Agreed expectations on Bennett's development should be higher than that, but there's a massive in between the Janko route and the Mony route we should all be comfortable accepting.

Bennett is entering his third full season. Asking him to come in and produce now is not asking for instant production. He's regressed statistically each year and it's looking like so far he will again. I understand the desire to be patient with him but when he's showing no signs of improvement that gets harder and harder to do.
