I think that its pretty clear that we shouldnt trade Bennett at this point, barring some team over valuing him based on draft pedigree. If hes a potential throw in for a bigger deal then you probably consider it. That said, this crap about how you cant criticize Bennett because he’s only 21 needs to die. There are a ton of reasons he deserves criticism, mostly of his own doing. I love that someone said that if you cut off his beginning of the season then he’s actually .5ppg while not considering that if you cut out his one month then hes like something like .11ppg. You cant just pick and choose. He’s got like a good 15 games stretch book ended by 38 games of very bad play. His one month was great but his return to how he played at the beginning of the year is the exact thing that is maddening. He has no consistency whatsoever.
