2022 Fantasy Outlook
On Draft night, it looked as though Mathurin would be joining a fairly crowded backcourt, but the Pacers swiftly shipping Malcolm Brogdon to Boston seemingly clears the way for the No. 6 overall pick to start alongside Tyrese Haliburton. If the Pacers end up moving one or both of Myles Turner and Buddy Hield -- a distinct possibility -- then Mathurin would have an even clearer path to elevated usage in Year 1. The Arizona product was one of the standouts of Summer League, where he cobbled together averages of 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 made threes in just 22.4 minutes per game (three appearances). A very good athlete with prototypical size, Mathurin should be able to adapt well to the NBA game, and playing alongside a strong playmaker in Haliburton will only ease the transition. Like any rookie guard, Mathurin will have to prove that he's not a drag on field goal percentage, and ideally, his frame and aggressiveness would translate to a higher steal rate. But as long as Mathurin can shoot the ball even relatively efficiently, he'll be in an excellent position to play a ton of minutes and push for a top-100 finish. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Bennedict Richard Felder Mathurin was born June 19, 2002 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Mathurin is of Haitian descent and speaks English, French and Creole. His sister, Jennifer, played college basketball at NC State, and his brother passed away at age 15 when Bennedict was 12. Mathurin grew up playing hockey and football as well as competing with the Quebec provincial basketball team. In 2018, he became the first Canadian-born player to join the NBA Academy Latin America in Mexico City. In 2020, Mathurin committed to playing college basketball at the University of Arizona. During his 2020-21 freshman season, the Wildcat started 12 of 26 appearances and averaged 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.0 minutes per game. Mathurin was then named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. Also in 2021, Mathurin played for Canada at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup, averaging 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 28 minutes per game as the team took home the bronze medal. As a sophomore, he started all 37 appearances and averaged 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.6 minutes. The guard was named Consensus All-American Second Team and Pac-12 Player of the Year. Mathurin declared for the 2022 NBA Draft following his sophomore year and was selected sixth overall by the Indiana Pacers.

Summer League over as precaution

July 14, 2022
Mathurin will not appear in the remaining Summer League contests due to a sore left big toe.
ANALYSIS
Mathurin made his mark on the three Summer League contests he appeared in, racking up 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The rookie will rest his toe to ensure it doesn't turn into anything worse and will likely be ready to go when training camp kicks off.
