It will come down to playing time. Would like to see Mathews get a chance at SG instead of Robinson, but don't trust Brooks with this.
What if Avdija is really good which we all hope for? That hurts playing time for Bonga and Brown, unless they play some SG, which may not be a bad idea.
Bryant is already good.
Rui will get the most chance to improve, so I'll go with him on that basis. Probably wishful thinking. He was asked to do too much in the bubble on offense. I'll be happy if he just improves rebounding and defense. We have enough offense. Developing a 3 can take a back seat.

Re: Who makes the jump?
Ish is good for what he ish. Sorry...!
In fact, Ish was a pleasant surprise last year. But, obviously, he's not a "makes the jump" candidate.
As to Mathews -- of course his numbers in 227 minutes don't really tell us much. Yet, as an undrafted guy from a low-level collegiate conference, it would have been more likely for him to play those minutes & put up lousy numbers -- so his good numbers can give us hope.
In that sense, one could say that if he is signed to a regular contract, gets some minutes, & keeps putting up numbers akin to what he did last year -- that would definitely qualify as a "jump" for this player! & a very welcome one.
Moreover if we've got a good player in Mathews -- that would inspire a "jump" for us as fans -- we might start to think that we now have FO skills to find a guy like that. That would really be a jump!
Might make us guess that Winston, Gill & Childs could wind up as 3 more finds of that kind.
