Wes Matthews Tonight

[VanillaGorilla]

My point was he is being paid to be more than a 3pt shooter. Rudy is a lost cause, Webster is on the worst team in the league, and Batum is more than a 3pt shooter. I think you missed the point of my post.

I think I did too. My mistake.

How did this guy go undrafted? That statement isn't based on his performance with us, but his work with the Jazz last year. He played for a big time program (Marquette) and shouldn't have been missed. There are some personnel people around the league that should be embarrassed.

From an ESPN article:

Whenever a guy goes undrafted, there's always a reason. Or reasons, as was the case with Matthews. Scouts said the 6'5", 220-pound guard didn't shoot as well as he might. He wasn't overly athletic. He was a second-round talent at best, and that's where teams like to pick "stash guys" typically Euros who can be tucked overseas for a couple years at no cost.

The S2 board wouldn't reproduce the entire ESPN article, so I summarized the reason he wasn't drafted as

In college, he was a good defender, but not a top shooter or overly athletic.

Many other boards, such as this one, just reprinted the whole article.
