6. Indiana Pacers – Bennedict Mathurin, F, Arizona

The Indiana Pacers are reportedly one of the teams interesting in Keegan Murray. However, short of trading up, it seems unlikely that they’ll be able to land him at No. 6. The next best wing prospect could be Bennedict Mathurin.

Mathurin could be a great fit next to Tyrese Haliburton and whoever the Pacers decide to add during the offseason – assuming that they elect to trade both Malcolm Brogdon and Myles Turner.

Mathurin doesn’t come in with the hype that Murray currently has but he may have a bit of a higher ceiling, depending on where he lands and what developmental system he enters.
