Early life
Matthews was born in San Antonio, Texas to Wesley Sr., a former NBA point guard and two-time NBA champion with the 1987 and 1988 Los Angeles Lakers, and Pam Moore, an All-American runner and basketball player. Matthews starred on the James Madison Memorial High School basketball and soccer teams. He was named Wisconsin Mr. Basketball in 2005.{{cite news|last=Punzel|first=Dennis|title=Matthews feeling at home in Madison|work=Racine Journal Times|date=October 8, 2016|url=https://journaltimes.com/matthews-feeling-at-home-in-madison/article_59671017-d6a4-5be2-b460-dee29062c6aa.html|access-date=November 19, 2020}}
College career
Matthews chose to attend Marquette University despite being pressured to play for the University of Wisconsin–Madison like his father.
Wesley was the biggest of the "three amigos", the three guards in the starting lineup for Marquette. This trio, Dominic James, Jerel McNeal, and Matthews, started nearly every game together from their first year onwards. With the lack of height in the 2008–09 season at Marquette, Matthews learned to play against bigger opponents. He grabbed 13 rebounds in a Marquette 48-point win over Division II opponent Lewis Flyers on December 28, 2005.{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap/_/gameId/253620269|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211224064600/https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap/_/gameId/253620269|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 24, 2021|title=Lewis vs. Marquette - Game Recap - December 28, 2005 |website=ESPN.com|access-date=March 3, 2022}}

Professional basketball career

After completing four years at Marquette, Matthews entered the 2009 NBA draft, but went undrafted. He joined the Utah Jazz for the Orlando Summer League and the Sacramento Kings for the Las Vegas Summer League. In September 2009, he signed a one-year deal with the Jazz. In February 2010, after the team's trade of Ronnie Brewer, head coach Jerry Sloan made Matthews the team's starting shooting guard. The following month, on March 14, Matthews scored a then-career-high 29 points, including six made three-point shots, in a 119–111 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.co.uk/nba/game/_/gameId/300314025|title=Jazz vs. Thunder - Game Summary - March 14, 2010|website=ESPN.com|access-date=March 3, 2022}}
On June 29, 2010, the Jazz extended Matthews the league-specified qualifying offer, thereby making him a restricted free agent and giving the Jazz the opportunity to match any other free agent offer.{{cite web | title=Jazz make qualifying offers to pair |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=5340118 | publisher=ESPN | date=June 29, 2010 | access-date=June 29, 2010}}

In his first season with Portland, Matthews averaged 15.9 points per game, and his three-point shot improved from 38 percent to 41 percent. After Brandon Roy began missing time due to knee problems, Matthews gained a spot in the Blazers' starting lineup.
