Outlook
Keith plays hard, provides length in the lane with his shot-blocking ability and an inside the paint presence. Has great passing ability. An athletic player who runs the floor very well and will finish powerfully at the basket. Keith has a strong post game: turn around shot and hook shot, able to finish with either hand, can face up & knockdown jumper and runs pick and roll well. He is an aggressive and relentless offensive rebounder.
ESPN May 2008:
“DeWitt's … highly talented… DeWitt is a long, wiry, angular athlete with loads of potential. He runs the court well.
He's somewhat like a guard in a big man's body. He has multiple talents, including ball handling, passing and good outside shooting for a player his size.”
