Wesley Matthews has been subject of much criticism this offseason. Mainly centered around streaky shooting and an inflated contracted Matthews has certainly been under the microscope. In his second season in Dallas, Matthews averaged 13.5 points, four rebounds and three assists, which were improvements from last season. But Matthews true impact on this team has always been on the defensive end of the floor, and he made his presence known throughout last season.
This season, Matthews role should be much of the same, but he will be playing with a new running mate in the backcourt.
