It's almost a cliché now to hear the words "huge upside," but Lewis Witcher indeed does fit that bill, at least as far as his long range future, perhaps even more so than any of the '05 kids coming into VT at the 4 and 5 positions, although that is certainly arguable. Lewis changes ends of the court very well with outstanding speed. His face up jumper is better than average and a solid plus shot out to about 17 or so, although his release isn't the quickest by any means. He is 6- 8, goes about 205, which was about the same frame that Philip McCandies had at the conclusion of his freshman season.
The thing that Witcher has that you immediately notice is a very live body. He is airquick, a fine leaper, shows solid agility and mobility inside, as well as in transition, and his lateral quickness is better than average for a 6-8 kid. He continues the recent tradition of excellent athletes along the interior and shows the ability to be a very good rebounder in college, especially on the offensive glass.
