Bennett on the other hand is on such a short leash it is no wonder he plays like he's squeezing the stick so tight knowing that the next mistake is going to bury him with the coaches.
Not saying Bennett hasn't had a hand in his own fate, too. But there's clear favoritism with this team and Bennett is on the wrong end of it.

Coaches play who they trust and who they think gives them the best chance of winning
So if that’s favouritism I agree
But several coaches have decided that on most nights they don’t think Sam is amongst the top forwards
Ain’t no bias. Just reality
