The Dopplegänger Machine meets the Wizards’ most fictional president, Garrison Mathews

With the voting deadline yesterday and the count ongoing, I wanted to run the Statistical Doppelgänger Machine on the Wizards player with the name that sounded most like a fictional president.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have this idea 3-4 weeks ago, which means I didn’t save Thomas Bryant. Among the un-run names, Anzejs Pasecniks just didn’t quite have that West Wing feel. But one name jumped out: Garrison Mathews.

He even kinda looks like a fictional president — or at least he might in another 25-30 years. No rush.

So, despite the fact that Mathews played just 227 total minutes (a minuscule sample size), I’m going to put him through the grinder anyway.
