Bleacher Report Draft Expert Jonathan Wasserman's Scouting Report
Player: Bennedict Mathurin
Position: SG/SF
Height: 6'5"
Pro Comparison: Jason Richardson
Scouting Report: Explosiveness and shot-making are Mathurin's NBA moneymakers. He's still working on becoming a more efficient shot-creator, but he should immediately be able to score by drilling jumpers and picking up easy transition buckets.
