Started 29 of 60 career games and averaged 10.6 points, 2 boards & 1.6 assists per game

Fourth on his team in assists and 32% three point shooter??? Personally would hope there are better options.

Would truly hope that we don't settle for this level of player. Unless I'm missing something here.

Benjamin is listed at 5-10, 140 lbs. and a soph. Really have to wonder about this one. Lots of undeveloped potential? Who knows?
