2022 Draft Profile - Bennedict Mathurin

Cody Taylor - USA Today - Apr. 9th: "He turned in a great run in the NCAA Tournament, averaging 21 points in three games, including a 30-point performance to send the Wildcats to the Sweet 16. Mathurin showed his clutch gene in that win after hitting the game-tying 3-pointer to send the game to overtime."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - Mar. 16th: "Some NBA team in the lottery will happily scoop him up as a high-end shooter with good size and defensive upside."

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - Mar. 15th: "He fits an obvious mold as a strong-framed, 6-foot-6 wing who can space the floor from well beyond the NBA line, shoot running off screens or pulling up off the dribble, and finish explosively in the open floor. He also has made strides as a ball handler and passer, while still only being 19 years old."

Bryan Kalbrosky - USA Today - Feb. 16th: "Mathurin, who we interviewed and profiled during his freshman season at Arizona, has all the makings of a prototypical 3-and-D wing."

Kyle Irving - Sporting News - Feb. 11th: "The 6-foot-6 guard has a lightning-quick first step, he's improved his handle to become a more lethal shot creator and his intensity on the defensive end doesn't waver. Mathurin will give any NBA team a boost as a pesky perimeter defender and bucket-getter."

Ricky O'Donnell - SB Nation - Jan. 19th: "The 6’6 guard is a dynamic shooter off the catch, making 40 percent of his threes on significant volume through two college seasons. He gets serious elevation on his jump shot that helps him get off clean looks from a variety of angles."

Cody Taylor - The Rookie Wire - USA Today - Jan. 19th: "Mathurin has improved in nearly every statistical category and is averaging 18 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists. He was viewed as an exceptional 3-point shooter and has carried that into this season after shooting 36.3% on 6.1 attempts per game. "

NBA Draft Room - Jan. 15th: "A big time athlete and shot maker with NBA size and athleticism. Looking like a top 10 pick."

Jeremy Woo - SI - Jan. 13th: "He’s not a naturally creative player and is uncomfortable improvising with the ball, but he’s a terrific run-jump athlete athlete and a natural enough scorer to succeed in an off-ball role, similar to what Arizona is asking him to do."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - Jan. 6th: "He’s best in a straight line attacking the rim or stopping and popping for a little mid-paint floater. Defensively, he’s solid but doesn’t profile as a real difference-maker. Basically, Mathurin profiles as a solid starting NBA wing with some upside into being a plus starter."
