Well this is interesting. Matthews is a solid player, but was never a player to really build a team around like McBride, Butler, Jones, Carter, etc... He is definitely better than most of the players we brought in last year to replace the players we lost. However, that is more an indictment on the poor play of last year's additions more so than praise for Matthews. So I can't say I'm super pumped for this because part of me would rather take a chance on maybe hitting the lottery with another player in the portal rather than accepting the known quantity of Matthews which is not player capable of elevating those around him.
