Matthews was an undrafted rookie out of Marquette, but proved himself further by posting 13.2 points, 4.4 boards, 1.7 assists and 1.8 steals in starting all 10 of Utah's playoff games in 2009-10.

He averaged 37.1 minutes over the stretch and added 15 three-pointers. During the regular season, the 23-year-old connected on 63 three-point attempts, shooting 38.2 percent from long distance.
