Bennedict Mathurin is making waves as the Indiana Pacers' leading scorer, averaging 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. However, former player Jeff Teague believes the team isn't utilizing him to his full potential. He argues that Mathurin's unique skill set, characterized by his aggressive one-on-one play, could significantly benefit the Pacers, whose passing game currently dominates.

Teague speculates that Mathurin's potential may be stifled by financial concerns, suggesting that the Pacers might be cautious about his playing time due to the impending cost associated with a potential contract extension as he becomes a restricted free agent. As the playoffs progress, Mathurin's ability to draw fouls and get to the basket remains critical, but questions arise about whether the Pacers will harness his talents effectively.
