Ignore his worst category (blocks) and he's worth -1.33.
A Pelican now — the Clippers withdrew his qualifying offer and New Orleans signed him for two years and $16M on August 27. The talent is real and the line barely moves (17.2 on a rising 85% FT stripe), but read the room he walked into: Murphy, Herbert Jones, Zion and Saddiq Bey are already there, and four wings do not fit in 96 wing minutes. We keep him near his career 29 and take the compression out of Bey instead. FG% and near-zero defensive stats stay the leaks. A fine deep-end scorer, not a breakout.
Bennedict Mathurin enters 2026-27 at #159 on our board — Round 14 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.3 minutes a night. The value is built on free-throw percentage and scoring, with blocks the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-blocks builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 63 games.
