Mathurin to New Orleans + Eastern Conference BENCH Rankings | Part 1

Benn Mathurin’s brief stint in Los Angeles is officially over. Mathurin is headed to New Orleans, and Brad and Ryan react to the news, what it says about his market around the NBA, why things ultimately didn’t work in Indiana or LA, and now what to expect in his Pelicans era. Then it’s time for another ranking debate. We’re ranking every BENCH in the Eastern Conference heading into next season — and in Part 1, we start at the bottom and work our way from No. 15 through No. 9. Which teams have legitimate difference-makers waiting behind their starters? Which young benches could surprise? Who desperately needs more depth? And where will Indiana eventually land in a conference that suddenly looks a whole lot deeper? Mathurin is moving on. The East has changed. And now it’s time to find out which teams actually have the depth to survive it.
