Mini? He's bigger Derrick White. He's 6'5" I think.

To be fair, I do like Mathurin. I do think that he has real scoring potential and I do like his willingness to be physical. I think he can put it all together and that he can give us a different look at times of need.

But I can also see why someone wouldn't like his playing style.


It just doesn't fit the Pacers style of basketball imo, they pass more than any other team in the league, he's like the antithesis of that. Though it is interesting if they strike a balance with him for that when they need it. Not sold on it at all yet.


It's true, he's the one awkward fit on the team. He isn't a selfish guy or anything but he just isn't a natural passer nor does he naturally make quick decisions.

I still love that we have him, don't get me wrong.


I wanted Dyson Daniels, and I still wish we had Dyson Daniels that draft. The trio of Nembhard, Nesmith and Dyson to rotate on defense.

Missed opportunity.

You leave Dyson alone. You have enough talent. :D
