Hopefully Matthews can improve his handle to a upper class Zak Irvin level. Irvin would similarly play backup minutes at the 2 on offense (often while still playing 4 on d).

I agree, Matthews will be scouted as a 2-guard in the NBA. That’s the next big element to his game he’ll need to show scouts. And if Livers continues to develop and Brazdeikis & Johns are as good as advertised on the wing, Michigan may need to give Matthews some run at the 2-guard to get the wings their minutes.
Which I guess is my way of saying I’d be surprised if Nunez plays more than mop up minutes next season…but then again those were similar to my thoughts about Eli Brooks this summer
Iggy and Nunez facing off today

Short recap on Iggy vs Nunez also Corey Evans must like Nunez as in the second link he mentions him as a small forward who is a perfect fit for the school.

I feel like every jump shot he took was was a swish. His stroke is beautiful.
Beauty of highlights 
End of the day, Nunez can shoot and that isn’t a proven commodity for many players on the roster. I just am not sure how the rest of his game translates immediately.
It would be interesting to see 20 shots or possessions instead of cherry-picking 10 makes.
Haha, of course. I just meant most of his makes didn’t even hit the rim!
The defensive sequence shown in the video seems odd, imo, if it was intended to stand-in as a defensive highlight.
Anyway, his shot is very very pretty!

I think all 5 recruits are good enough to have a rotation role next season; problem is (a good problem) there are 12 individuals vying for an 8-10 rotation. Nunez seems likely not to make the roatation in my humble estimation.
And he can shoot it from deep…effortlessly.

Couple things that stand out to me, his release point is higher than most in high school who most often shoot glorified set shots and he actually jumps when he shoots which means an even higher release. Not to mention his stroke looks great and repeats.

Stroke is beautiful. Lots of potential there. As Dylan correctly notes though, lots of things change at the next level.
I predict he finds meaningful minutes as a sophomore in a role akin to Irvin/Stauskas Frosh campaigns. Getting your shot off, be it off the dribble or on the catch, is insanely more difficult at the D1 level, even compared to competitive high school ball.
