a rim-protecting post with real muscle
Amber Witherspoon’s profile is built around size, rebounding, and shot-blocking: as a senior at Lincoln Park High School, she averaged 18.4 points, 16.4 rebounds, and 8.0 blocks per game, and ESPN ranked her a three-star recruit and the No. 16 post player in her class. Her value is the classic “paint presence” package—physical interior defense, second-chance work, and a strong motor—rather than flashy scoring. If you need a center who can make life miserable around the rim and bring toughness every possession, she’s the type who can fit that role well.
