Siakam is where you'd expect him and maybe Mathurin is more a team scorer than we first thought.

Where is Benn…oh
Ouch, huge decline from last year from Benn. Got a wonder how much of it is the great toe
If Pascal had better threats around him he’d be really at the top of the top quadrant as he was seeing triple teams a good chunk of the year. He’s just been playing with mid level G Leaguers all year.
Surprised Benns so low. I think it’s just a small healthy sample size so a few bad games skews outcomes a lot.
Really surprised at the lack of iso attempts a game for Benn.
The first two games Benn was on another level. I wonder what these stats are for him first 2 games vs after the injury
Don’t recall where Benn was last year, but before injury (when we were playing more Hali-ball still) I recall seeing thinking his playmaking was looking better. Maybe a function of injury and him being steered away from holding the ball?
Maybe a MathurHIM 30 piece in the near future as health improves (and if we continue to look slow in the halfcourt)?
Isn’t this exactly what the coaches and fans want from Benn? Less isolated and more playing within the system? And hes still putting up good numbers. Seems like a win for the pacers.
Bens problem remains the same.. he turns it over and takes poor shots. Has all the tools but his weaknesses offensively stand out like a sore thumb.
I’m lower on Benn than most people on here, and I think his ability to create offense on his own is overrated, but this particular iso stat has a tiny sample size and I don’t know how valuable it really is.
According to this he’s had a total of ~25 “isolation possessions” all season and about 0.50 points per iso. That’s really bad. Last year he also had a really bad 0.78 points per iso, on a total of 120 total possessions per nba.com’s tracking stats.
The pull-up shooting stats show a different story where he’s hitting pull-up 3s at a much higher rate this year (42.9%) than in his first 3 years (32.8%), and taking them at a higher volume, but again it’s on a small sample size because he’s only played 13 games this year.
