    Seems like he would be a great addition to a playoff team. Athletic 3&D guard/wing combo that just turned 25

    He was on one last year and played good minutes. I live in DC and remember him starting for the Wizards he was. Great spacer and component to Westbrook. Wizards had a high ortg when he was on the floor

    He's got a little junkyard dawg in him. Great first start tonight, with that starting 5 we have spacing, ball movement and good switching defense.

    Impressive win.

    Seems like he was pushed out with all the players they got for Westbrook

    Tru. Never heard of him until couple weeks ago but definitely deserves a look in rotation. He and Brooks are snipers.

    Lol well one thing that was familiar, teams went at him on defense like they do now. The dtrg was high when he was in the floor too for the wizards.

    I wouldn’t call him a lockdown defender, but he hustles on that side. Not a negative there, granted it’s short sample.
    I thought I read that he was a solid defender, at least in team defensive aspects.

    Matthews stays in front of his man. He just needs the weakside help when he is playing talented wings.

    I'll take a good team defender but mediocre individual defender over the other way around (brook of the west)

    Too bad he is already 25 but way to break out this year.

    Great potentials.

    I like "Snipa" for Brooks

    that leaves "Sniper" for Mathews.
