Wesley Witherspoon of the Memphis Tigers
Last night was the last time you will see Wesley Witherspoon in a Memphis Tigers basketball uniform in a regular season game. He performed very well and showed me that he can play at the highest level. He finished with 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. When he first came to Memphis in 2008, there were high expectations for him as a basketball player. But he didn't live up to those expectations as he suffered injuries throughout his career. His best season was in his sophomore year when he averaged 12.5 points and 4.6 rebounds. In his junior year, his points average went down to 9 and his minutes went from 25.6 to 22.9. This season he played a reserve role averaging 6.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21 minutes per game. This guy showed a lot of heart this season and proved to be a great teammate. After last night, it has been great to follow Witherspoon throughout his collegiate career and I wish him the best with continuing his basketball career.
