After trading Bennedict Mathurin to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of the Ivica Zubac trade, the Pacers needed another go-to bench option. And while he won't replicate Mathurin's skillset, Walker stepping up and fully showcasing his value will make the Canadian native's absence hurt a lot less, just for completely different reasons.
