Benedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton
Benedict Mathurin, a guard with the Indiana Pacers, has risen as one of the team’s top rookies and is winning over his teammates, particularly third-year guard Tyrese Haliburton. Mathurin has been the ideal player for the Pacers since he has provided the support that rising star Haliburton and the Pacers needed.
When the Indiana Pacers selected Benedict Mathurin with the sixth pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. One of the top rookies thus far this season has been Mathurin, a former Arizona star. For Indiana, Mathurin has been the total package and the team’s important player. Tyrese Haliburton and Mathurin appear to be the ideal combination, and Indiana is likely to find itself in a very excellent position to be a legitimate squad in the years to come. Mathurin has been outstanding thus far and that’s exactly what Haliburton had to say.
Tyrese Haliburton and JJ Reddick were questioned about their favorite rookie of the current season on the podcast “The Old Man & the Three.” Haliburton went on to say: “Duh Bennedict Mathurin!” When Reddick asked him who was that, he claimed: “Stop. He’s The Answer.” Later on the episode, the host asked about Mathurin’s confidence and his teammate had only one apt reply: “He said Brons gotta show he’s one of the greatest players ever. That’s who he is..”
Who is Benedict Mathurin and how are his numbers so far this season?
A fascinating and promising wing prospect is Benedict Mathurin. He still has the ability to create offense and score and he is particularly skilled at finishing around the rim against contact and over challenges. Mathurin has the potential to be a good multi-positional defender because he has the abilities, athleticism and reflexes to defend both wings and ones when necessary. Mathurin is playing alongside a strong, young core for the Pacers which is resulting in some dangerous combos.
Mathurin, 20, is averaging a remarkable 20.4 points per game and shooting 46.0% overall including 43.7% from beyond the arc. He put the incident behind him right away and then had his second game with at least 30 points this season earlier this week. With 18 points in the second period, he scored the most points by a Pacers rookie in any quarter and almost guided the team to a victory over the Denver Nuggets.
Tyrese Haliburton with more praise for the rookie
Tyrese Haliburton talked about what it’s like to play with a rookie later in the episode. When Haliburton and Mathurin are on the same floor, they have a fairly straightforward game plan, especially when Mathurin is sizzling. He said: “This guy gets to the free-throw line better than any rookie I have ever seen. He just lives there. He just shows up and plays basketball. Say he has a bad practice or whatever and didn’t look too good, we get in the game the next day, he scores 25. That guy is ready to go when it is game time.”
It will be a dynamic team in Indiana, and it has the potential to elevate the Pacers to the level of a championship contender in the next years. Indiana now has the players they need to assemble a successful squad and look into the future. In the early going, Mathurin has proven to be a reliable scorer for the Pacers and appears to be everything that he was expected to be as the sixth pick. He continues to dazzle everyone around him and recently received high plaudits for playing his best games of the year.
