Kentucky freshman Charles Matthews prides himself in winning and making winning plays.

“Regardless of what I have to do to get my team over the hump, that is what I do. As long as we win I am happy,” he said.

He credits his parents for helping shape his career and says he continues to speak to them daily back in Chicago.

“They check on me and I check on them. I am grateful to have a great mother and father both in my life,” he said.

Chicago trainer Eric Nawracaj worked with Matthews — he also worked with Ulis — to get him ready for college basketball.

“It was tough. I was extremely exhausted after workouts but it is paying off,” Matthews said. “We did a lot of work on my midrange game, a lot of conditioning and being able to last a full game and go hard the whole length of the game.”

He credits his high school coach, Gary DeCeasne of St. Rita, for preparing him defensively because he had been a college coach.
