I know a lot of people were down on Withey after he failed to dominate in Summer League, but in addition to being asked to play a bigger role than he would typically play for the Pelicans, he also had a foot injury before SL even started.

quote:

Pelicans summer league coach Bryan Gates said Withey played with a sore foot that impacted his play. He averaged 7.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in five games.

''He fought through it,'' Gates said in July. ''He hurt his foot before he got here for conditioning work. It haltered him a little bit, but I was very pleased.''

The article also says he's gained 17 pounds. I don't recall if that is different from the figure they gave about a month ago or not.
