Here’s Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle describing what makes star rookie Bennedict Mathurin so special on offense.
(Via Cody Taylor- Rookie Wire):
“He has got a really great knack for a young player of finding the cracks in the defense and then being able to get in there and avoid charges, get contact and, in many cases, finish. It is a craft that a lot of players take years (to figure out). Every once in a while, there is a young player that comes out of college whose game is much more suited to the NBA than college and I think Benn might be one of those guys. He had great coaching in college and was Player of the Year in the Pac-12. (Arizona head coach) Tommy (Lloyd) did a great job with him. But it is unique for a guy at this stage to have that feel.”
