What # is Matthews

[Boozer93]

...?

It's black 12 or 22. I haven't paid attention to his number. I just recognize him.

 

[nighthawks8]

12 very complete team player.

 

[Boozer93]

Has he played in the second half

 

[CloverforkCat]

I think he has done very well, had a dunk and hit a jumper or two.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

He had an easy breakaway dunk, but passed it back to a trailing Diallo. Wonder if that was some recruiting there?

I love this kids demeanor on the floor. Plays a complete game. He needs to look for his shot a little more it seems, but he is going to surprise some people next year.

Saw him do a couple of pretty nice things but, for the most part, he has disappeared from what I've seen. Was hoping to see more of/from him tonight. On the other hand, Briscoe looked incredible.

Seems like a decent role player but I don't see big things for him next season.Maybe in the future.Needs lots of work on his shooting.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Enjoyed the TV commentator saying how he loved everything about Matthews, his defense, team play, productivity. etc.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

For those focusing in on missed jumpers, did anyone shoot well? Newman was 0-7 in the McDonald's game.

 

[Aike]

He would be a perfect 6th man. As it stands now, he probably starts at the 3.

 

[UKDC80]

I'd give him some slack. The guy took a bad fall in practice this week and was questionable to even play. He could have pulled a Kenard or Brown but he fought through it to play. I like the outlook on him.

Glad you don't do the recruiting for UK. The kid is a player and he WAS playing hurt.

These all-star games show nothing about a kid's future.

Exactly, these games are glorified, Brother-in-law basketball scrimages. Nothing like the real college games.

Seems Brandon knight did not play well or do much in one of his all star games. Some do not excel in streetwide basketball brawl settings.

I like what I've seen and heard of Matthews. Plays this team sport called "basketball". Maybe everyone who praises him is professional fluffer. We'll see.

He's never been known for shooting so has to work on that.I've just never been that impressed with him but we will see.

The drive he had and finish made me realize he is better than I thought. Looks like a 'quite and go about his business' type.
