The Hawks have exercised the $2.23 million team option for Mathews on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Mathews chipped in eight points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game loss to Chicago.
Scoring buckets is the name of his game: he is the all-time leading scorer at Lipscomb University in Nashville during the NCAA Division I era; he is the second all-time leading scorer in Atlantic Sun history and was one of only three players to average 20-plus points in his final three years of college ball (2016-19). His frame (6'5", 204 pounds) is ideal for the shooting guard position in the NBA, though he can also play small forward. Can leap too, so he can be a factor in rebounding and also when dunking the basketball. Needs to improve his footwork when defending smaller, quicker guards. Also needs to become a more consistent basketball player, night in and night out, in order to maximize his NBA minutes.
Long Range Potential: Depth scoring wing with some upside.
