Nice outside jumper too.


Haha he shot 14 jumpers last year...Granted he made eight and showed "good skill and mechanics" according to Draft Express.

Yeah. Which is why everyone in this thread was excited. I just reread it and no one said anything about Withey being a "legit 5" or that he was going to be some major player at center this season.

I know I'm late, but holy shite! This is a great piece to get to replace Lopez.

Fair points. We'll have to see how much he can give the team down low. I may be a bit skeptical, but im happy to be wrong.

He had a hell of a post season last year which made me start following him. Glad we were able to snag him. Hopefully he'll mold into a decent player.

I'm excited to get Withey. With us having to dump Lopez' contract, I think Withey is about as good as we could have hoped for. A young 7 footer with great defensive potential.

Tremendous job by Dell.

darryljames30 Welcome Jeff Withey to NOLA I guess this is something, Cole Aldrich was way more talented than Withey and he can barely stay on a team.


As a die hard KU bball fan this is way off. Withey is more talented on D and O. He's not clumsy for a 7footer. Actually is very athletic. Soft hands and can finish. Great rim protector and can knock down free throws. He will be great for us.

Him and AD reunited in NOLA like in the 2012 Championship game

I really think he is better than Len but I'm bias. Great kid, awesome move. TE and JW >>> RL and GV

He doesn't have those outstanding athletic measureables like Len, and not the upside.

But he's a really smart defender, not just a big shot-blocker. He's good on all facets on D.
