Let the Jeff Withey Era Begin!

Why is not Withey shooting the three? This is disappointing. I read a article on Granyland (rip) once which says even at like 31-32 % a big shooting 3 is efficient offense because the spread the floor factorial. Anyone can shoot 30 per cent three so why not Whithey? He has a good stroke.

Can somebody ban this loser?

Withey plays like a veteran, he is a smart player!

Yes, he has a high basketball IQ. Notice the tip passes off rebounds and quick outlets. And on defense, he's usually in the right place and is an exceptionally good team defender.

He is one of the older players on the team.

Reminds me of a taller Tiago Splitter.

You know he is going back to not playing once Gobert comes back? I just can't see Quin benching Booker and not playing Lyles.

Sadly, I agree. That said, right around this time last year was when Quin started doing the right thing and playing Gobert. Maybe the trend continues. Once the team is healthy, this is how I'd like to see the minutes distribution.

Neto-18, Burke-30
Hood-20, Burks-28
Hayward-32, Hood-8, Ingles-8
Favors-28, Booker-10, Lyles-10
Gobert-32, Withey-12, Favors-4

I think that's a good balance of playing our best guys the most, constant interior defensive presence, all while developing Lyles and Neto some.

Someone needs to go back to the 2013 NBA Draft thread and rep those who wanted to draft Withey in the second round. ;-)

Withey has a soft touch. I have watched him warm up and he has a solid stroke. Not sure if it would translate to games, but if he can develop (or has) a good outside shot he will be one of our most underrated off season additions in a long time.

Tell me more.

Nice.

Stats of the day:
Jeff Withey has +12.6 on/off and +9.6 +/- for the season!
Jeff Withey is the best rim-protector in the league(points saved adjusted per 36) per nylon calculus. He allows opponents to shoot 36.3% at the rim when he's defending it, second in the league(Rudy being no. 1)

A good balance IMO.
