Everyone's just all over Bennett because he was a fourth overall pick who we all hoped would be our number one center, which hasn't happened. If he had have been a mid round first who was projected as a winger/center we'd all be happy with how he's performing.
It's useless to play woulda/coulda/shoulda and look at who was picked after him - he's what we have. At least we have a player who is useful - most draft picks don't ever turn out at all. I'm disappointed like anyone else that a pick that high didn't turn into what we hoped, but I can instead be glad we got a pick that looks like a nice part of the roster going forward if I adjust my expectations.
Just need to look on the positive side of it sometimes!
