Don't confuse my argument with one I'm not suggesting. I'm saying that when Bouma signed his 2.2M contract he was comparable to Bennett. I'm not saying Bennett is going to be out of the league by 28. I'm saying that, in 2014-2015, Bouma was an equivalent player to Bennett in 2018-2019.
We're talking about young players, the most important season when signing a contract was the last season. Bouma signed in 2015. His contract was probably 90% based on the 2014-2015 season. Bennett's contract will be 90% on the 2018-2019 season (which won't matter much because all his years have been relatively close).
Then they won't get comparable contracts. We'll see.

How can you say equivalent when you're ignoring shooting percentage?
The seasons you are comparing (avg Bennett vs Bouma career) features one player tripling his shooting percentage and the other shooting basically right at his average in a contract year.
