So rewording my question, what are some examples of a player that regressed for three straight seasons from his rookie season and then "developed into something more?"

Well if players regressing in their 2nd season wasn't a common thing then we wouldn't have the phrase "sophomore slump".
Sure the 3rd season was a disappointment but it doesn't mean he can't still develop into a player. Who cares about comparables? Bennett is his own unique player on his own unique development path. He has the raw skills and talent to be a top two line player. It's certainly far from a sure thing that he'll put it all together. But its also far, far from certain that his ceiling is now a 3rd liner.
SuperMatt18 a few posts above you detailed several players that took more than 3 seasons to develop into their full potential if you really want comparables.
