“He should be a great offensive rebounder, he’s a great spot up 3-point shooter and he’s great in transition,” Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said Sunday. “It’s a heck of a combination.”
This is the first Pac-12 Player of the Week award for Mathurin, a 6-foot-6 sophomore from Montreal.
UA’s Christian Koloko won the award two weeks ago.
