Aside from potentially occupying the same spot in the starting lineup, Wesley Matthews and Victor Oladipo don’t have much in common. Speed and quickness were sapped from the former as fast as skilled agility elevated the latter. Where Oladipo skips the pleasantries and cuts to the chase, Matthews processes — waiting judiciously for when to explode around a screen or take advantage of a smaller defender on the block. He posts about as frequently as his predecessor isolates, and his predecessor hunts mismatches on the block with near to the same scarcity as he creates his own shot.
