Rob's Takeaways: Jae'Lyn Withers Breakout; Ian Jackson Confidence Boost; The Road Ahead

Posted Feb 17, 2025
If this team is going to accomplish anything of note, Jae'Lyn Withers has to be out there. You may not love everything he does, but at least he gives them legitimate size in the frontcourt. You can put him with either of the two centers, Jalen Washington or Ven-Allen Lubin. It was great to see Withers played a lot of minutes. He played very well overall. (Inside Carolina)
