One of my favorite NBA 2022 Draft Prospects is yet to break out. Will this be the year? Most people aren’t expecting much from Mathurin because they say he didn’t do much with the minutes when he had the chance to start. However, I think he can still put up good numbers in 2024-25 even though he’s coming off the bench. Mathurin could win Sixth Man of the Year in my opinion. And he could put him at least 20 points per game. To me, Mathurin is a bigger and healthier version of Victor Oladipo. After Oladipo’s second season, I hoped he would be the number one option for the Orlando Magic and lead them to title contention. It didn’t work out that way due to injuries. Let’s see what happens with Mathurin.
