If he was not designated as the rookie of the year of the National Basketball Association (NBA), Benedict Mathurin can make his city and his neighborhood, Montreal North, proud, since he came 4th in the NBA rookie rankings.
The title of NBA Rookie of the year in English honors the best basketball player who is in his first year in the NBA, the most prestigious basketball league in North America. The prize is awarded by American and Canadian sports journalists at the end of each season, and it was Italian-American Paolo Banchero who won it for the 2022-2023 season.
Such a coronation for Benedict Mathurin would have been only the second for a Canadian, and the first for a Quebecer. In 4th position, he is also the only Canadian national who made it to this list.
Benedict Mathurin, who will soon turn 21, has been the back of the Indiana Pacers since this season. His team failed to qualify for the NBA playoffs.
The North-Montrealer studied at the Adélard-Desrosiers school, located in Montreal-North. Benedict Mathurin is a source of pride for Montreal North. The North Montreal community already knew the Mathurins who were struck by tragedy on October 1, 2014, when Benedict’s brother died after being hit by a motorist on his bicycle.
