That's the point though. People aren't comparing current Bennett (or even future Bennett) to Marchand or Scheifele, they're saying that at the same age that Bennett is now neither of those players were performing anywhere near the level they are now, as it wasn't certain what those players could become, but now look at them.
Nobody knows what he's going to be going forward and the above point is to counter those who state definitively that he's a bust at 21.
