No, Wes Matthews thought he was a great ball handler and could play like prime Jordan whenever he felt like it. I don't get that vibe from THJ. He clanks a bunch of shots, but Wes would force the issue big time with clanking shots.

In fact, you could argue that is THJ's biggest weakness in a way. If he isn't hitting a three, then I forget he is even on the court. He just isn't a high impact, high energy kind of guy.

This is the worst ret-con of Wes Matthews I've ever heard. Every GDT was posters complaining about how he couldn't even drive the ball--which is, to be fair my complaint with THJ. Every thread was complaining that he was only capable of 3/D and his defense was overrated while his 3 was highly streaky.

He couldn't handle the ball but badly attempted to. He tried doing things he wasn't capable of basically every game. Comprehend now?

The Wes Matthews post-up was one of my least favorite plays, always. Inefficient, no handles, no court vision. THJ over Wes anyday.
