Wesley Matthews will start at shooting guard for the Jazz Friday with Ronnie Brewer now in Memphis.

Undrafted, dismissed by many "experts" as too small or lacking the requisite quickness for the NBA. What a great story. Inspirational without a bit of puffery. Just hard work.
Speaks well too for the Marquette program
Wes gets another great opportunity with the trade. Maybe Wes can suggest that the Jazz fill their newly open spot at guard with Jerel...
The amazing thing is........Brewer wasn't even traded for a player. The Jazz are a top team, so they clearly don't see any drop-off by dealing Brewer. Wesley's confidence must be through the roof. I wonder if the Jazz wants to re-sign him? ;D
