Michael is a kid who I have been able to follow for a few years now and I have enjoyed seeing his growth. He is a competitor plain and simple. Widmer is willing to do whatever is asked of him on the floor. This past season he really showed off his versatility guarding the other teams best player, rebounding, scoring, bringing the ball up and so much more. Having a guy like that on your team, he always finds a way to contribute in one or another."
