"So far this season, that's all I have been doing is working on everything out there. "I would say what I have been working on the most is getting back comfortable on the perimeter," Withers said. The 6-foot-9, 220-pound junior was one of the first returning players to announce his decision to return to school after Kenny Payne was hired as the head coach, and since he made that decision his focus has been on trying to make sure he's ready for this season. Now, Withers is preparing for his fourth season at Louisville and he's doing it under a new coaching staff and at a position on the floor where he feels comfortable - the perimeter. "I would go from working on a lot of perimeter stuff to a lot of back-to-the-basket things which more or less improved my game as a whole because I know how to play both ways now." "It was just a lot of ups and downs for me as far as working on skill development," he said. Withers, who missed the final few games last season with a minor knee injury he suffered against Virginia Tech, said he felt like the moving around positions hampered his chances to improve, but have now given him a better understanding of every position on the floor. Last year, I got moved back out to the perimeter. "It was definitely hard for me. I would say coming out of high school, I was like a small forward and then I got here and ended up transitioning into a power forward and then a center because of injuries and whatnot. "It was tough for me," Withers told Cardinal Authority in an interview last week. He averaged just 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds a game. He struggled with consistency and at times was not getting much playing time with the Cardinals, averaging 18.1 minutes a game but playing less than 10 minutes in six of 29 games. He came to U of L as a small forward in the Class of 2019, won the dunk contest at Louisville Live just a few months after he arrived on campus but then took a redshirt season as he sat out the entire 2019-2020 campaign.Īs a redshirt freshman, Withers was expected to play power forward but was switched to the center position when Malik Williams was injured. Withers had never played the post but averaged 10.1 points while shooting a team-best 55.2 percent from the field and was second among all freshmen in the ACC in rebounds a game with 7.7.īut then last season as a sophomore, Withers's production took a massive dip.
