Expert Analysis
Robbie Hodin | Prep Hoops Scout
Mathey is on Newman’s second team, so he probably gets less attention than he deserves, but I love his game. I’ve always known he could shoot the ball—he has a super quick release and a compact, accurate shot—but I was impressed with his ability to drive closeouts and finish with athleticism and smoothness at the hoop in the Prep Classic. Against Green Farms Academy, he had multiple nice conversions at the hoop and showcased a well-rounded scoring game. D3’s should be very interested in Mathey’s size, length, and potential to put on weight and develop into a really great athlete.

I didn’t notice Mathey early on, but it was impossible to miss his impressive shooting display towards the conclusion of Tuesday’s open gym. The 6-foot-4 wing is definitely skinny in the upper body, but he has a super quick shot release and comes off of screens like an elite movement shooter. He probably made about 5 threes in the span of the last 20 minutes of game time, and all of them were swishes, even though his release looks interesting. I didn’t see too much off the dribble skills, but I’m sure he has some that he’ll show off on the Newman B team this season. Could also be blooming late physically.
