Indiana Pacers: 3 players who disappointed this season

#2 Wesley Matthews

Wesley Matthews went undrafted back in 2009.

After Dallas traded him to New York who then waived him in January of 2019, Wes found a home in Indiana, mainly because he wanted a starting spot in a potential postseason team.

In his 23 regular season games wearing an Indiana uniform, Matthews averaged 10.9 points per game - his lowest since his rookie season - while shooting an unimpressive 38% (career-worst percentage) from the field while doing so. He failed to possess the handles to create enough space for himself and so most of endeavours inside the arc resulted in missed or contested shots.

His post-up offense could amount to all but 0.48 points per possession - dead last in the league - cramping his already limited bag of tricks. To put up averages like 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks in over 31 minutes of court time per game highlights the ineffectiveness of Matthews in other aspects of the game.
