Silas Bennion brings steady two-way guard play and veteran depth to South Dakota
In the 2026 season, Bennion has been a low-usage but valuable combo guard for South Dakota, averaging 4.8 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 16 games while logging meaningful minutes and helping on both ends. His calling card is not big-volume scoring; it is ball handling, creating for others, and disruptive perimeter defense, with a season steal rate that hints at active hands and instincts. He should appeal to teams that want a composed, experienced guard who can organize an offense and compete defensively, even if he is not yet an efficient scoring threat.
