Bennedict Mathurin Leaving Arizona For 2022 NBA Draft

Apr 13, 2022 9:53 PM

Bennedict Mathurin will leave Arizona after his sophomore season to enter the 2022 NBA draft.

Mathurin is the No. 11 prospect in the ESPN 100 following a season in which he was the Pac-12 Player of the Year.

Mathurin is projected to be the No. 12 pick in ESPN's latest mock draft.

Mathurin was a potential first round pick last year but decided to remain in school. 

Mathurin fits an obvious mold as a pro prospect as a strong-framed, 6-foot-6 wing who can space the floor from well beyond the NBA line.
