Omari Witherspoon brings starter-level length, two-way juice, and sneaky playmaking to Pitt
In the 2025-26 season, Omari Witherspoon became a regular in Pitt’s starting lineup, averaging 7.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists while logging 25 starts in 33 games; he also added defensive impact with 27 steals and 20 blocked shots, which is rare production for a guard. He’s a 6-4 freshman with a good frame and real versatility, but the shot still comes and goes, so the upside play here is clear: a long, active, defensive-minded guard who can grow into a two-way connector if his jumper stabilizes. Good fit? Absolutely, if a team wants edge, size, and disruption more than instant microwave scoring.
