Career night for Wesley
« on: January 26, 2010, 01:24:56 AM »
And he's getting some nice press for it too. Here are some articles-

Game Story- http://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_14268252

"Rookie Matthews fills highlight reel"- http://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_14267993

"Rookie Matthews sparks rally, win"- http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705361131/Utah-Jazz-Rookie-Matthews-sparks-rally-win.html?pg=2

Even Reuters gets in on the act- "Rookie Matthews calls the tune as Jazz block out Suns" http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60P0VO20100126?type=sportsNews

I wonder if he'll be named to play in the Rookie game?

This game will put Wes back into the Honorable mention spot, unfortunately, because Aldridge is looking at players by POSITION.
I cannot believe Sundiata Gaines was placed in the HM list.

Wes deserves consideration as a 1st teamer but I think he'll make it as a bench reserve.

Even people leaving comments are leaving love for our guy!  One guy said it was Matthews, Sr. that prepared him for Sloan, but they obviously didn't know about Ms. Moore being there from the start.

Reeeeally hope he can make it on the Rookie team!

Perhaps they'll give him a raise.

Playing for the rookie minimum, they got a real good deal in Wes.  Heck, I'm happy for both sides.  And I'm happy to have another MU player in the pros.   ;D

Well .. a bummer, but 4 months ago, even being considered within sniffing distance of that game would have been orgasmic for him.

Yeah - its a "good bummer".  After all, he was undrafted. 

Its great to see good things happening for a good guy.  I see he's still a good interview, too.

He is putting up similar numbers to some of the borderline guys (Taj Gibson, Jonas Jerebko (who?)) but in 5-6 less minutes, and his rebounds are lower.  Whatever, the NBA All-Star game and selections are a joke.
