Don't know if anyone caught this article, but it's definitely a good article that points to W.Matthews making the cut.  We'll see what happens in a few weeks.

Here's a nice comment on Wes from the Jazz homepage:

With the CJ injury I suspect the Jazz will need to carry another player. With both Matt Harpring and CJ Miles out until at least late November the Jazz need another wing. Wesley Mathews and Ronald Dupree are getting the look. Mathews Europe trips was what you can anticipate from a rookie one very good game and one rather blasé game. You have to like a young guy that impacts the game.

Check out the tweets at the bottom of the page by the same guy.
"Wes Matthews is guarding Ron Dupree...."

interesting dynamic (rookie v. journeyman), hope Wes is cherishing his opportunity and I wish him the best.
