Bennedict Mathurin 2023-24 Exit Interview | Indiana Pacers

Bennedict Mathurin speaks to the media following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season.

[@PG22_Hello]

I love that he’s been bringing homemade baked goods to the guys.

[@carter94feet]

Benn Mathurin heading into his 3rd year, from hearing him talk I can hear the fire to improve as he talked about earning his starting spot, a breakout season could be incoming.

[@kalebc2134]

3rd year leap is real, just look at any number of stars in the league, they often make that leap in year 3. I just hope he doesn’t get shut out of the starting lineup

[@712Jefferson]

Looking forward to seeing him ball in year 3.

[@charronelliott9764]

One of my favorite players on the team ! Wish u the best man, next year will be the year !

[@hoosierdaddy5846]

We missed you this post-season mathurin.. can't wait to have you back n to see you take the next step.

[@NapTownNikKy]

Next year's most improved player. Benn is an absolute dawggggggg bro. Can't wait to see what he does once we let him loose next year

[@bromestick]

Future star. He won't be satisfied not starting tho.

[@dahhmlife]

That's up to him to take the spot.

[@bromestick]

True to an extent. Not sure I trust rick with him. This dude is a baller, we can't afford to lose him. Number six, pick in the draft, remember.

[@animal_SS70]

​@@bromestickit's tough with Nembhard playing so well. With Ben, he needs to have consistent effort on the defensive end to get in the starting lineup. That's what has gotten Nesmith and Nembhard to where they are at

[@bromestick]

All true, but this guy has the ability to be different . He can be that player that can close, and let's be honest, we are missing that. We don't want to see him flourish on another team.

[@animal_SS70]

@@bromestick absolutely. I'm a big fan of Mathurin. He has that dawg in him that we love as Pacers fans. With defensive effort, watch out

[@reneebelushi1985]

Mathurin got hurt because the refs never call foul when he drives to the basket.!

[@Wooweezy33rd]

Real talk I was just telling my friends this the other day

[@MikeKelsoJr]

If we would have had him could have been the difference !?👍👏

[@heyb6268]

He has the mentality to be great. I can’t wait to see what the future holds

[@marcofdabeast]

I love this kid man

[@Fish_Face]

can't wait for benn to be back in the rotation next year! Missed seeing him play this playoffs.

[@Tony.aussiecoltsfan]

Will be huge to have Ben back

[@warlockmagic3416]

Some of us are simply more introverts. Mathurin is more like me, always had to act grown when young. Grew up fast and had to be tough. He has a killer mindset. But he's a genuine good dude. Us dude's are just harder to open up our feelings. We keep in all the pain and bs. So we need to surround ourselves with a lot of positive vibes. Shake off some of those introvert feelings lol. Live again.

[@julianfoddrell9370]

Monster season he will have next season.

[@Pacerstalk]

He's what we needed in the playoffs

[@1OneLove222]

He gon start next year

[@FutbolrClothing]

Forgot all about him..like a free agent pick up next year for Pacers

[@Pacerstalk]

We have to keep him he's gonna be a superstar

[@Indycolts314]

Should be our starting 3

[@justinwilson9848]

Or the 2 feel like we need another guy at one of those positions but getting that spot from nemhard won't be easy

[@Indycolts314]

@@justinwilson9848 really want nembahard as backup 1 and flip McConnell for someone which is tough love TJ but think that’s better move for long term success

[@teronjohnson5849]

Dude started baking..... that's wassup
