Benedict Mathurin blew people away with his workouts, and there are even whispers that he could go as high as No. 5 to Detroit. I ranked AJ Griffin above Mathurin, but it was a coin toss, but now I am all-in on Mathurin.

He has excellent 3-point shooting, is an extremely athletic, very high floor, and is guaranteed bust-proof. If the Pistons select Mathurin at No. 5, I can understand it. Even though I have other players ahead of him, like his fellow Canadian Shaedon Sharpe, who is falling in the draft, Mathurin will be an excellent fit for any team.

There will be a myriad of wings taken in the top 10, but there is a scenario in which Mathurin ends up being the best of the pack.
