No. 22 Auburn prepares for its first conference road game Wednesday at Georgia.
The former four-star prospect went from averaging more than 14 minutes per game in his first six games post-surgery to playing eight minutes against both Memphis and Georgia State, a combined two minutes during Auburn’s two-game West Coast swing, to falling out of the rotation entirely in the team’s SEC opener last week.
For now, at least, the versatile 6-foot-6 guard is taking a backseat in the rotation as Auburn gives him more time to get right following his preseason knee procedure. Westry didn’t return to the court until Nov. 15 against Winthrop, missing the first two games of the season.but then shifted focus to playing point guard behind Wendell Green Jr. Westry’s career hasn’t gotten off to the start many expected, however. In 10 games, he’s averaging 2.7 points, 1.1 assists, less than a rebound per game and has shot just 31.1 percent overall while going 0-of-14 from beyond the arc.
The 6-foot-2 freshman, like Westry, has seen his role fluctuate this season. He went from playing double-digit minutes off the bench in Auburn’s first four games, to single-digit spells against Bradley , Northwestern and Colgate , to a pair of DNPs against Saint Louis and Memphis.
