I do wonder what any Beniers contract will look like in a couple years if Berkly “Smartest Player in the Draft” Catton breaks into the league as a center. Wright is presumably around long term, as is Stephenson.
Starts to be a bit of a log jam.
God I hope they go young. Sticking with this veteran group is just circling the drain. Francis’s interests and Bylsma’s may not be in accordance this year
