2017-2018 review:

Benson was not productive during his sophomore season. In his limited minutes backing up starting center Dererk Pardon, Benson was neither an offensive force nor a defensive stalwart. Coming off a promising freshman season, his offensive and defensive ratings trended in the wrong direction, per sports-reference, while his turnover percentage skyrocketed, despite a decrease in usage percentage.
