Once Bennedict Mathurin decides to enter the NBA Draft—it’s gonna happen real soon, probably this spring—it might be wise for the Portland Trail Blazers to trade up to get him considering how much he loves scoring just down the road in Corvallis.
Mathurin poured in 29 points on the same Gill Coliseum court where he scored a career-high 31 a year ago, leading No. 11 Arizona to a 90-65 win at Oregon State on Sunday afternoon in its Pac-12 opener.
The sophomore wing made 11 of 18 shots, including five dunks and 4 of 9 from 3-point shots, and added six rebounds.
