Again, we could find a plethora of late bloomers. I'm more concerned that Bennett's play has regressed for the second straight year. He's putting up only 2/3 of his rookie season points, he's scored fewer goals each year.
There's a lot of sophomore jinx players out there as the no-longer-rookies take on more defensive responsibilities and assignments. But is there, and it's a genuine question, many examples of players that had such a drop off and then met early expectations?
