Benedict Maturin wants to take full advantage of the light of Los Angeles
« Everyone knows my game pretty well, so that helps a lot. » Recovering Benedict Maturin two weeks ago, as part of the exchange around Ivica ZubacThe Clippers already knew what the Pacers’ last game was made of.
His exit with 25 points on their floor last season was there to remind us: the Canadian is a proven scorer. Averaging just under 18 units before his transfer, the guard posted his best production of his career.
« The possibility of being consistent here is much more realistic. Just about the role: I’m coming into a new environment where the coaches already know what I’m capable of and give me much more freedom to express myself. That’s all I need to come to work every day and be who I am “, he judges.
More freedom with Tyronn Lue?
Enough to then allow him to take a step forward? ” I was able to show a lot, but I feel that I have the opportunity to do even more here. To be exposed, to introduce people to my game… I think it will take it to a whole new level », projects the native of Montreal under the spotlights of California, much more imposing than those of Indiana.
Benedict Maturin is confident that he will be able to play his game under Tyronn Lue’s orders” without any restrictions », where his previous coach, Rick Carlisle, didn’t hesitate to be tough on him. « This is where my biggest improvement will be, especially playing alongside big players like Kawhi, DG and other guys on the team; This will allow me to show even more », the newcomers judge.
So he will team up with the undisputed local boss, Kawhi Leonard, and what is expected to be his lieutenant, Darius Garland. ” Whether I play with DG or not, or with Kawhi, I can fit into any kind of top five. They can adapt anywhere and remain a threat », warns the Canadian, who signed two average first outings with his new team (12.5 points with 30% shooting).
