Bennedict Mathurin NBA Draft Stock & Projection

Round 1
- Indiana Pacers (No. 6) - 2
- San Antonio Spurs (No. 9) - 1

All three highlighted drafts project Mathurin as a top-10 pick. The two projections for a pick by the Indiana Pacers make a lot of sense, as Malcolm Brogdon is set to be an unrestricted free agent following the 2022-23 season, and Mathurin would join Tyrese Haliburton to give the Pacers an exciting young backcourt duo.
