A starting job is not guaranteed for Bennedict Mathurin, even during what most expect to be a gap year.
With Tyrese Haliburton on the shelf next season, the expectation was that Andrew Nembhard would take over at the point with Bennedict Mathurin likely sliding into the starting lineup at shooting guard. However, as it stands, it looks like there will be a competition for the starting shooting guard spot, which may not bode well for Mathurin, whose future in Indiana is already in doubt.
