Atlanta Hawks: Wesley Matthews
The 37-year-old veteran with over 14 years of NBA experience, Wesley Matthews has always been known as a high-level defender and capable sharpshooter from three. The six-foot-five wing shoots a career 38% from three in 986 games. I remember him guarding Jayson Tatum well at times in previous playoff series.
I will admit this one is a reach for Brad Stevens and company. I am looking at Matthews as a potential Udonis Haslem-type presence or playing a similar role to James Johnson for the Pacers or Garrett Temple for the Raptors: a stay-ready veteran who is a leader in the locker room and is more than equipped to step up when his number is called.
His 66 playoff games without a championship have to be a streak he looks to snap.
