BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Three games for the Pacers rookie so far this season, three increasingly better performances by the day for Bennedict Mathurin who seems to have hit the ground running in Indy.
Mathurin has been hella steady through the first week of play and his stats have been eerily similar from one game to the next one and going up a bit every time he's been out there hooping. He played 28, then 28, then 31 MP in those three. Scored 19 points, then 26, then 27.
On average, Mathurin is putting up nightly 24-6-2 lines and taking (and hitting, which matters the most) more shots than you'd ever dreamed possible: 7-of-15, 8-of-15, and 10-of-18 is his baby season tally with all of those games at FG% clips above 46%.
With Mathurin stuck in Indy's second unite the USG% rates have been quite high between 24% and 29% without fail. It won't be long before GMs start to catch up with the rook's exploits and roster him in avalanches, so take advantage while the bug is still there.
