Matthews figures to be one of the key cogs in the rebuilding wheel at URI.  The Michigan native will move into an even bigger scoring role next season with the departure of 1,000 point scorer Xavier Munford.  And according to NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, Matthews might even be on the radar of a handful of NBA teams.
