2016 Draft Profile - E.C. Matthews

Strengths: E.C. Matthews has one of the wider ranges of any draft prospect in 2016 as he has been seen anywhere from the mid-first round to completely undrafted. Nonetheless, the Rhode Island Ram has some excellent tools to work with.

He has been more of a shooting guard to this point, but projects as a point guard in the NBA. He has great size for the position and a quick first step that allows him to get to his spots on the floor.

Matthews has solid court vision as well and is a very aggressive player, consistently attacking the defense. He also has the size, quickness, and length to guard multiple positions on defense.

Weaknesses: Matthews’ aggressiveness can turn into a negative at times as he can get out of control on occasion. He will have to lower his turnover rate as it is far too high.

He is also only an average finisher at the rim, which is a major worry. As he tries to move up to the NBA level, big men will be even more difficult to finish through and he will need to find ways to get his shot off at the rim.

Of course there is always the question of whether Matthews can actually make the permanent transition to point guard. If he remains a shooting guard, his draft stock changes considerably.
