Bennedict Mathurin holds the ball too long on offense and doesn’t make quick reads. In order for him to succeed with the Indiana Pacers long-term, head coach Rick Carlisle will want him to speed up and play within the team's system.
In a recent appearance on the "Kevin O'Connor Show," Pacers beat writer Alex Golden brought up this exact point and suggested that, while the team needs Mathurin, he has a lot of improvements he needs to make to prove he can work in their system.
"The continued conversation with Benn Mathurin, he's gotta be quicker on his reads and just make the right plays because too often the Pacers like to play this quick, fast-paced basketball, random basketball, and Mathurin at times can kind of slow the offense down and be more of an isolation scorer.
