I always find this debate hilarious.

It gets hammered into the ground with this notion that it has to be either
a) Bennett has blown it himself
b) the team hasn't given him the opportunity

as 100% answers.

Honestly it's both.

I'd go 85% on Bennett, and then a 15% on the team for some peculiar handling of the player over the years. He does seem to be the first one to move down the lineup when the whole team isn't playing well after being given a spot on the lineup for the first time in weeks.

This just isn't a on/off switch. Use the dimmer!
