Is Mathurin good enough to be a starter for the Pacers? Absolutely. He can get hot in a second and is borderline unstoppable when he's on. But there's also no denying that he does his best work when he's able to take full control of the offense with the ball in his hands. Realistically, he's not going to do that when Tyrese Haliburton is back on the court full-time.
