On ESPN.com Fran Frashilla writes about the Nations most versatile players, this is what he mentions about Spoon:
Wesley Witherspoon, 6-9, Jr., Memphis
Witherspoon is one of the few players in the country who can successfully navigate all five positions if need be. While John Calipari experimented with him at the point guard position as a freshman, his true strengths come from being as versatile as a Swiss Army knife. Last season, Witherspoon averaged almost 13 points and five rebounds and shot 43 percent from behind the arc. His ballhandling lets him get anywhere on the court and his length and size can be equally effective on the defensive end. While everyone talks of the Tigers’ terrific recruiting class, a big part of their success will be due to the continued improvement of Witherspoon.
