Horrid PG play and a primary scoring option down low is what's hurting this team.
Withey is not a primary scoring option down low. If he can get to the line, great. But he lacks moves and esp the muscle to really be effective on the block a lot of times. In Self's hi-lo offense, you need a guy that's a dominant scorer around the hoop. Withey isn't that. He's on the floor to block shots, because really he's not an effective rebounder as he should be IMO with his size. He gets pushed around a lot.
Manning leaving hurt this team IMO.
