Bennedict Mathurin

It took all of one game in the NBA for Bennedict Mathurin to announce his presence. The offensively-gifted Indiana Pacers rookie instantly rewards the team’s faith in him, corralling an inbound pass underneath the basket and leaving his defender scratching his head with a ridiculously difficult reverse layup and foul. Mathurin, the sixth overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, came off the bench to score 19 points on 7-for-15 shooting in his debut while adding seven rebounds, two assists and two steals against the Washington Wizards on October 19, 2022.
