Wesley Matthews

“It will always be Dirk until he finally hangs them up, but to be fun I’m going with Wes Matthews. I think (more like pray) he’s going to return to his Portland numbers this year, which will put him close to the top of the points chart. He’s also the best two-way player we have by a mile, which makes him much more valuable.

If you take Matthews out of the lineup we have Seth Curry or Devin Harris starting at the off guard spot and no one really coming in off the bench. Aside from tanking our defense, this would force Barnes to guard the best player every night AND be a primary offensive weapon, which is a workload we haven’t seen since Luol Deng‘s Chicago days. I think Wes is going to come back in phenomenal shape and be hungrier than ever.”
