You're right to note Mathurin was traded because they needed to rebalance the roster and add Zubac. That said, if Mathurin was actually Kawhi, instead of just a Kahwi-like scorer, he certainly wouldn't have been moved.
Mathurin reminds me a bit of Corey Maggette. Not a star but a good player. Not a complimentary player, but an alpha scorer. I like the idea of adding him to the rotation.
He's FOR SURE not Kahwi Leonard, and I hope I haven't given the impression that I think he is...
...but I think he's pretty far north of Corey Maggette, on the other hand. I'm not sure what a good comp might be, considering he's still like 23 or 24. I think if he lands in the right situation with the right coach and team he could end up being a fairly big deal, honestly. And, isn't that sort of an emerging theme of the late summer here in Dallas?
