Austin Matthews lite. Big frame, phenomenal hands, ridiculous shot. Less physical than he ought to have been, and less effective come playoff time.

Very similar in that both don't like playing in the playoffs where the style of play gets much tougher & dirtier & the hitting goes up a notch or two. Some guys can handle it & thrive while others cannot handle it.
