Jeff Withey will play in Las Vegas Summer League in July. He had a decent finish to his rookie season, averaging 8.2 points, 4.0 boards, 0.3 steals and 2.6 blocks in 22.1 minutes per game. Withey didn't do much in summer league in 2013 and maybe a year under his belt could help him this time around.

Jeff Withey blocked four shots in Monday's win, and also chipped in with eight points and six boards in 33 minutes. Withey should get big minutes in Wednesay's finale and is worth a look if you're hunting boards and blocks. Alexis Ajinca (19 minutes, 10 points, four boards, five fouls) is also worth a look in that regard to a lesser extent.

Jeff Withey and Austin Rivers will start vs. the Thunder on Friday night. He's coming off a career-high 17 points on Wednesday and will look to build that momentum. One problem, though: Serge Ibaka. Withey is a middle-upside, high-risk player tonight, but the Pelicans figure to give him some run. Al-Farouq Aminu moves to the bench.

Jeff Withey scored a career-high 17 points vs. the Suns during a 94-88 loss on Wednesday, adding two boards, three assists and one block on 7-of-10 from the field. If Anthony Davis (back) is out for any more time, there really is no reason why the Pelicans shouldn't play their rookie. Greg Steimsma has been a detriment to offensive flow and at least Withey has shown he can move a little without the ball to establish position. He offers some upside for owners looking to stream big man stats.

Jeff Withey played 30 minutes against the Nuggets on Wednesday with 13 points, five board, one assist, one steal and four blocks. The Pelicans have no reason not to play the rookie at this point and he felt comfortable around the basket. Greg Stiemsma has been a liability on offense, so don't be surprised to see Withey get a start. To be clear, the NO center spot has been a wasteland in fantasy and only owners in deep leagues should care.

Jeff Withey blocked a career-high five shots in Monday's loss, and also added eight points on 4-of-4 shooting with seven rebounds and a steal in 28 minutes off the bench. The Kings always give the opposition a lot of blocks so that explains some of the big number there, but in general owners have an entire season's worth of work to look back on in order to avoid the big man mess in New Orleans. If he can do it again we'll let you know.

Jeff Withey moved back to the bench against the Hawks on Friday and failed to score. He got the start on Wednesday with Anthony Davis out and couldn't build off that nine-point game. Withey has no fantasy value in the majority of leagues.

Jeff Withey was in the starting lineup in place of Anthony Davis (illness) on Wednesday vs. the Raptors, scoring nine points with four boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks. He seems to be building momentum as the best center among Alexis Ajinca and Greg Stiemsma for Monty Williams' Pelicans. Withey is basically a big fish in a little pond for one of the least productive spots in any NBA lineup, but at least he's been at 28.0 minutes per game in his last two. He's only on the radar in deep leagues despite blocking five shots in his last two games.

Jeff Withey and Greg Stiemsma are starting on Wednesday vs. the Raptors. Apparently coach Monty Williams wants to keep Al-Farouq Aminu with his second unit. Withey and Stiemsma will join Brian Roberts, Eric Gordon and Tyreke Evans in the starting lineup. Neither big man is worth using in most formats.

Jeff Withey and Luke Babbit are candidates to start Friday if Anthony Davis (shoulder) can't.
