Overview:

A look at Wideman and you'll think that he is a senior, at least.  The 6'7" 240 pound beast is more than a handful in the post.  He has the power (which attributes to his athleticism rating) to back just about anyone down, and keep just about anyone out of the paint defensively.  One thing I would like to see him work on is his stamina, and his fouling tendency.  Working with for Glenn Robinson III for not only this season, but next season as well (as well as playing with Meanstreets AAU in the Summer) will be nothing but beneficial for this big man.

A tall, strong, somewhat coordinated (6'7" 240), developing his game in the rugged DAC conference; has tons of potential. He is NWI's answer for Jahlil Okafor (6'10"/260 Freshman Center out of Whitney Young (IL)) (2014 Lake Central)
