Mattson was always a high-risk pick though - the type that a lot of fans want this team to make. He was a really raw player, but the combination of size and speed, with sprinkles of skill made him a good gamble. There were a few people on this board that were happy with that pick IIRC. He just hasn't developed at all - maybe it has to do with the program, or maybe something else kind of went off the rails with him. Who knows. He was, however, an intriguing gamble at the draft.
