Of course his agent would be happy but nobody is going to give Bennett a long term deal at that price. That is especially true in this day and age. If he continued at this pace for a year he’d get more but nobody is giving him an immovable contract based on 10 GP. With the stagnant cap I’d argue he’s likely to get $2.5 for 2 years at best at seasons end. From there he could cash in if he proves himself.
