    He is our Tyler Herro, except better defense, better contract, less ego and an inch taller.

    People need to remember he is 25. So he isn't going to get that much better. Solid rotational guy. Maybe a tier below Reddick.

    Redick, Herro, Miller, Anderson, Love, Parsons... I'm noticing a theme in these comparisons

    they are not Klay Thompson

    he will be very good, fearless, high and quick release 3, willing to do all little things, he remind me of Shane Battier, maybe more fire, less disciplined for now

    judging from his skin color, I'd say tiger woods

    Let's see if he can keep it up. Some guys have super hot streaks in the NBA and then just...never can replicate it.

    What he's doing now though he'd be a super role-player glue type of guy.

    Yea, I don't think he's going to break out and become a superstar. At 25 I think it's fair to assess him as best case maintaining current level of plau, which really good for what we're paying.

    The best comparison I can think of right now is KCP.

    I voted Michael Jordan. I think he’s better. I’ve watched basketball since 1934.

    I’m guessing Mathews is going to make a few posters in this thread look silly.

    He just turned 25 with low mileage. If Wood can still improve, shouldn’t Mathews too?
