Is UM’s Charles Matthews NBA-ready? Experts are skeptical

Will Michigan’s Charles Matthews stay or go?

It’s a question that likely won’t be answered until later this month. It’s also one that’s open for debate.

Matthews’ name hasn’t popped up in any major 2018 NBA mock drafts despite his helping lead the Wolverines to their second straight Big Ten tournament title and to their seventh national championship game.

He also isn’t listed among ESPN’s top 100 draft prospects, even after finishing his redshirt sophomore season as Michigan’s second-leading scorer (13 points) and rebounder (5.5) and as one of the best defenders on one of the nation’s top defenses.
