Matei went under the radar most of last season but really started to stand out during the AAU season. He knows how to use his solid frame and length, getting tough buckets and staying involved in grabbing boards. He has a fantastic stroke from deep, being able to let it fly and knock down shots smoothly.

A lefty wing with some slashing ability, he does well to feel space on drives and recognize when he can get all the way to the rim or when he should pull up short in space for short jumpers and runners. He shoots it well enough from outside to be a threat and has some versatility defensively, allowing him to be a solid two-way player.

Pretty crafty lefty who mixed up his timing of shots and was able to get them off using different footwork around the paint. Also showed potential from the outside and the ability to shoot with very little separation.
