5 of Kevin O'Connor's best (and worst) decisions as Utah Jazz general manager
Matthews played all four years at Marquette in college, but he failed to impress a team enough to be chosen in the 2009 NBA Draft. But his play for the Jazz in summer league ball earned him an invite to training camp, and despite the odds against him, he was signed to a one-year contract. Matthews averaged 9.4 points per game while shooting 38 percent on 3-pointers during the 2009-10 season.
After the season, however, Portland offered Matthews a front-loaded long-term contract, and the Jazz declined to match -- a decision that might merit inclusion on the other side of this list.
