There are plenty of trade rumors surrounding Bennedict Mathurin as the NBA trade deadline approaches. But as Indiana Pacers fans are considering whether or not they want to see him traded, they should consider one undeniable fact about him and his game: that Mathurin is better at driving to the hoop than anyone else on this roster.
You can love or hate Mathurin's game, but this truth remains something to consider moving forward. Having a wing who can put the ball on the deck and pressure defenses to react while getting downhill is valuable no matter how you slice it, even despite his deficiencies.
